    ABOUT CLARE:
    Clare Connelly is the bestselling author of more than one hundred angsty, passionate romance novels. Having self-published her first book in 2014, by the end of that year, she was an Amazon All-Star in the US and UK and has since sold millions of copies of her books. She continues to self-publish and also writes her trademark romances for Harlequin and Tule.
    Clare has lived and breathed romance for as long as she could remember. As a child, she adored fairy tales and Disney movies, as a teen it was all about romance novels: anything from Mills & Boon (which she consumed voraciously) to Jane Austen, Georgette Heyer and Jilly Cooper.
    In 2023, alongside three other bestselling romance writers, Clare launched the How to Write Academy, a one-stop shop for aspiring genre writers.
    Clare met her own real life hero at the tender age of eighteen. Clare lives near the sea in South Australia. When she isn't running kids to after school sports activities, listening to political podcasts or experimenting with French recipes, she's writing, thinking about writing, or wishing she were writing.

    Great interview! It's always a bit weird to hear those early success stories, but then you think: Clare must have done something really really right from the start. Especially the blurb writing and changing during pre-order sounded fascinating. So I would love to throw my hat in the ring to win the How-to-selfpublish course. Following up with the mail now...

    By the way, I think the quote that Clare was trying to think of near the end is the Samuel Goldwyn one: "The harder I work, the luckier I get."

    I want to be inspired, but it's kind of depressing. I'm busting my gut to build a newsletter list, build a street team, writing in series, learning ads, releasing every 3 months... to crickets. While I've given away thousands of copies of book 1 and when I set book 2 to free, I gave away over a thousand copies in a day, I've only had (exactly!) 100 sales in 3 months and 40 preorders for book 3. There's no way to come out of this without feeling inadequate. I'm trying so hard. I just don't know what else to do to get this moving. I badly need this to work and nothing seems to move the needle.

    • @SPAGirlsPodcast
      @SPAGirlsPodcast  3 дні тому +1

      It IS hard to keep the faith gray_mara Join some author groups, get some feedback on your published work (and it's "packaging") and keep going. 40 preorders is REALLY good when you're starting out. Many of us were in the single digits for preorders for a looooong time (((hugs)))
