What does it really take to turn creative passion into a sustainable, well-paid career? In this episode, I sit down with my long-time friend and multi-genre author Natali Simmonds - whose books have racked up TV deals, international publishing rights, and a serious cult following.
Natali Simmonds is a multi-genre fiction author and storytelling brand consultant. She’s originally from London, and now divides her time between the UK, Spain, and the Netherlands.
We talk about the real path to success, why rejection is just redirection, and how Natali leveraged self-promotion, community, and smart marketing to get exactly where she is - without compromising her creativity.
This one’s for the writers, dreamers, and anyone ready to build a brand that actually brings in the money.
