In this week’s episode of Fully Booked, fiction author and marketing veteran Kae Wagner joins us to share how indie authors can approach publishing with a more strategic mindset. Drawing from her success with the Frankie Girl series, Kae explains how treating fiction as both art and product can lead to stronger sales, deeper reader engagement, and long-term growth.
She offers a wealth of practical insights that many fiction authors overlook, from building series with intention to understanding reader psychology and leveraging tools that drive real results. This conversation is packed with inventive and actionable marketing strategies that go far beyond the basics. If you're ready to take your writing career to the next level, this episode delivers the guidance to get you there.
