H.Y. Hanna on Learning to Adjust Your Premise so that Your Novel Fits the Market

Episode 079 / Cozy mystery author H.Y. Hanna joins us today to tell us about how she learned to tweak her premise so that her series idea fit the market.

Hsin-Yi shares about dealing with expectations--both familial and personal--when it came to a writing career and how she’s learning to create her own definition of success.

We also talk about how to deal with your internal editor when you’re drafting, why writing a book never gets easier (no matter how many books you’ve written), pricing, and how Hsin-Yi involves readers in her translations and audiobook production.
