Transcript below:

Hello and welcome to the Rebel Author Podcast.

My name is Sacha Black and this is episode 0.

Why have an episode 0? Well because I wanted to tell you a little about the show and what to expect as well as a little about me and who I am.

And, if I’m being completely honest, it gives me a chance to get the podcast feed set up in advance so that if I make any fuck-ups, I have a chance to correct them before the episode’s launch.

If you’re listening to this on any kind of device, then go me, Sacha 1, technology 0

What can you expect from The Rebel Author Podcast?

Well, this show’s blurb is the following:

A motivational show for all the creatives out there with an inner rebel. Listen for interviews, industry news, tips, tricks and tools to help you take your creative business to the next level.

Which is why each episode will be hosted by me as I interview someone that I think will provide you guys with inspiration, motivation, lessons on creativity, business, publishing or marketing.

I’ll be launching the episodes fortnightly in 2019 with the hope that I can move into weekly episodes in the near future.

If you’d like to hear the episodes before anyone else, then you can support the show by going to Patreon at:

Who am I? 

If you don’t know who I am, I’m a proud indie author. I write YA books in a variety of genres, I also write nonfiction writing craft books. I’m a developmental editor, freelancer and occasional rebel. I’m a wife, mum, expensive shoe collector and lover of conspiracies, self-help and favourer of the go hard or go home philosophy. I also eat too much chocolate, drink too much caffeine and swear like a fucking trooper.

So why have a podcast?

I’ve blogged for years, the purpose was to share lessons Id personally learnt on my journey to full-time writing. But as the business grew, it actually became harder and harder to keep up the intensive work of blogging. I needed a new solution. A way to reach and give back to everyone who’s supported me along the way, and those just joining the industry

I suppose in a way, this podcast has been a long time in the making. I’ve been obsessively listening to podcasts for over half a decade. Frankly, I’m amazed I didn’t start one earlier.

I guess combine my podcast obsessery with the fact I used to do voice over acting as a teenager and it was waiting to happen. But like so many creatives I suffered with doubt and imposter syndrome. It wasn’t until I appeared on several podcasts and I had lots of encouraging feedback, that it even became a twinkling idea.

I’ve had several lovely people tell me I have a voice for audio though what that means about my face for TV I can only speculate. But what tipped me over the edge was a random act of kindness.

A lovely lady at Edinburgh 20books to 50k came up to me and told me she kept hearing me speak around the venue and that she could have listened to my voice all day. It was such a surprise comment but one that filled me with confidence. So I will forever be grateful to you for your spontaneous compliment which ultimately helped me birth The Rebel Author Podcast

That’s it for this show, a whistle-stop intro to what you’ll get.
