About this listen

In this inspiring episode of The Write Podcast, I chat with urban fantasy and paranormal romance author H.M. Hodgson, creator of the Witch Wars series. They dive into the real journey of becoming a self-published author—from the spark of an idea to building a loyal readership through special editions, character art, and social media.

H.M. opens up about why she walked away from traditional publishing, the lessons she’s learned marketing her books, and how she stays focused as an indie author. If you’ve ever struggled with consistency, confidence, or connecting with readers, this episode is packed with honest advice and encouragement.

✨ Topics include:

  • How Witch Wars reimagines witches in the modern world

  • The power of visual storytelling through character art

  • Creative marketing that goes beyond paid ads

  • Making special editions your readers will treasure

  • Real talk on the hustle of self-publishing

Whether you’re just starting out or deep in the indie trenches, this episode will leave you motivated to write and publish your way—with purpose and heart.
