Welcome to Embracing the Fiction Author Journey (formerly Parents Who Write), the podcast that helps writers pursue their author dreams. Join host, Erin P.T. Canning—an indie author, editor, book coach, and mom of two young boys—as she helps you make time for your writing, strengthen your voice, and gain confidence and direction, so you can own your identity as a writer and thrive as an author.  You’ll hear from other writers and authors who've been where you are and know what's coming next. Learn what keeps them inspired, how they overcome imposter syndrome, and what they wish they'd known earlier. Gain writing, revision, publishing and marketing tips. We’ll also talk about the craft of creative writing, including my personal favorite genres of fantasy, romance, and romantasy, and discuss techniques you can apply to your own manuscripts. Enjoy the laughs, the writing tips, and the relief in knowing you’re not alone. Episodes release on Tuesdays.
