Über diesen Titel

 What does it feel like to get paid for doing something you love? Paul Vachon writes books about history, which he is passionate about. And – this is going to make many writers, including myself, jealous – publishers reach out to him, not vice versa. How did Paul get started? How does he take a topic and turn it into a full-length book? His books are based on actual people and events, so accuracy is a priority. How much research and fact-checking is involved? Has he ever disagreed with editors about a change they want made? This published author of many books tells us how he established his writing career and how it continues to grow. He gives tips on navigating publishing contracts, taking or finding photographs and trying to stay on track when issues in his personal life demand his time. That last challenge is true for so many of us. Whatever kind of writing you do, you'll get practical advice and inspiration from this conversation. There's also a table reserved for you at the Badass Writers' Café, for Open Mic Night. Hear a writer read from their work-in-progress and comment on it afterward, in the Write Like a Bad--- Facebook group. And finally, are your ideas dangerous? They should be, according to this episode's inspirational quote. Paul Vachon's website is: paulvachonwrites.com. His books are available on his website and on Amazon. Paul's books include Becoming the Motor City: A Timeline of Detroit's Auto Industry, Detroit: An Illustrated Timeline, Lost Restaurants of Detroit, Legendary Locals of Detroit, and Forgotten Detroit – and you don't have to be a Detroiter to enjoy them! As you could tell by our conversation, Paul brings history – and historical characters – to life, in a way that is both informative and entertaining. Mac McFarland, who told us what writing success would look like for him, has written All The Answers. It is the first book in his Agent of Change series. The second book, All The Information, is set to release soon, and the third book, All The Understanding, is still in the writing/development stages. There will be at least two more books in the series, both of which – Mac says - are well outlined. (He really plans ahead!) You can find All the Answers at: https://books2read.com/AllTheAnswers (This is a universal book link which leads to a listing of the direct links to all the retailers offering the book.)
