Writers Chat, hosted by Jean Wise, Johnnie Alexander, and Brandy Brow, is the show where we talk about all things writing, by writers and for writers!
“Because talking about writing is more fun than actually doing it.”
The Dos and Don’ts of Book Launches with Bethany Jett
Bethany shares her expertise in what we good-naturedly call “drinking-from-the-firehose” presentation that includes tips on building a following on Instagram using ads, focusing on “national days” to soft-sell your book, and planning a long-term strategy. We dabble in related areas such as getting reviews, providing special giveaways for your launch team, and so much more. If you have a book that launches this year or are still in the writing process, this is an episode you’ll want to watch a couple of times.
Watch the May 4th replay.
Bethany Jett, founder of Serious Writer, Inc. and co-owner of Platinum Literary Services, is a multi-published author who launched two books almost simultaneously last year. Additionally, she works with clients to create book proposals that include creative marketing sections and assists clients with their own book launches.

Split Time Fiction with Melanie Dobson and Morgan Tarpley Smith
One of the great things about writing is it never stays the same. In this episode of Writers Chat Melanie and Morgan discuss a relatively new genre, split time fiction (also known as dual time or time slip fiction). They share great ideas on how to bridge the past to the present by using an object like a ring or a book. Fans of this genre love reading about two or more parallel stories taking place in different times. Whether you’re simply curios or have written in this genre before, there’s something for you in this episode.
Watch the May 11th replay.
Melanie Dobson loves any excuse to explore abandoned houses, travel to unique places, and spend hours reading old books and journals. This award-winning author of more than twenty novels enjoys stitching together both time-slip and historical stories including Memories of Glass, Catching the Wind, and her Legacy of Love series. Five of her books—including two Legacy of Love novels—have won Carol Awards for historical fiction. You can connect with Melanie on social media or at www.melaniedobson.com
Morgan Tarpley Smith writes inspirational fiction that transports women to faraway places and weaves past and present to explore questions of truth and faith. Besides writing and traveling to over a dozen countries, her interests include hanging out at coffee shops, listening to records, and researching genealogy. She works as a newspaper reporter and lives in Louisiana with her husband and son. You can connect with Morgan on social media or at www.morgantarpleysmith.com
