How to Turn Real-Life Experiences Into Publishing Success with Stephen Russell Payne

For episode 05 of the Writing Gym podcast, Stephen Russell Payne had one very large question for all of the writers of the world: what is the internal impetus that drives us? This incredible question has driven Stephen’s entire career. It is through each and every moment of living his very diverse and challenging life that has led him to be the magnificent author that he is today. In this podcast, he shared those experiences and the hard-won lessons with us.

He will teach you how to establish a writing habit, follow your passion, and ask yourself the tough questions; questions like: How do you actually write that novel that you’ve wanted to get onto paper? Do you have the spark within you to be a writer? How do you find that spark deep within?

He will walk us through the key components to finishing a book, how to become a published author, and perhaps the most important, how to find fun and joy in your writing.

You will learn:

-how to turn your real-life experiences into publishing success

-What is the internal impetus that drives writers?

-how to establish a writing habit
