  • Hooray for the SPA girls!

    I love this podcast. It’s so interesting and informative but done in a relaxed, chatty way with a sense of humour so you never feel you’re being lectured at, especially as a newbie writer. It’s like having a group of friends giving you great advice. Plus the guests are always helpful too. Highly recommended xxx

  • One of the best podcasts out there for indie authors

    This podcast out of NZ is great for self-publishing authors globally, especially fiction. The combined wisdom of the hosts, the honesty, the humour, the guests makes for a fab combo for entrepreneurial writers. Just caught up with ep430 and it’s a good one for you to listen to to get a sense if the vibe is right for you. Top work SPAgirls.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

SPA Girls Podcast – EP517 – Interview with Mark Leslie: The Realities Of Being An Author Today
Q: What do you want people to think about? What do you want them to take away from this interview?
Enjoy the process as much as you can. Most books are not going to have sold a lot of copies, so if you've already sold more than 100 copies of anything, you're actually far more successful than you're giving yourself credit for.
SPA Girls Podcast – EP516 – Interview with NYT Bestseller, Michele Scott (Classic Replay)
Q: How does the process of adapting books to screen work?
An option is when a producer expresses interest in adapting your book for screen, typically for a set period. It's important to have an agent and to be realistic about the chances of it actually becoming a project.
SPA Girls Podcast – EP516 – Interview with NYT Bestseller, Michele Scott (Classic Replay)
Q: Any advice for aspiring thriller authors?
Characters are crucial in thrillers. Readers need to be drawn to your protagonist, and it's essential to create a good balance between plot-driven elements and strong characters.
SPA Girls Podcast – EP516 – Interview with NYT Bestseller, Michele Scott (Classic Replay)
Q: What is your writing process?
Michele begins with character interviews and journals to understand her characters better, then develops plots and outlines while ensuring to keep the writing flowing without too much perfectionism during the first draft.
SPA Girls Podcast – EP516 – Interview with NYT Bestseller, Michele Scott (Classic Replay)
Q: How did you get into writing? Where did it all start?
Michele always knew she wanted to be a writer from a young age. She pursued journalism in college, but after the birth of her son, she decided to focus on writing her book.
