It's here – episode 10 and the season 1 finale of Indie Authors Uncovered 🎉

We're wrapping up our first season by spilling the tea on our goals for 2026. What we're dreaming about, what we're planning to change, and what publishing lessons we're carrying forward into the new year.

This one's raw, honest, and maybe a little emotional (okay, probably emotional). We're talking about what worked, what flopped, and where we're headed next as indie authors who are still figuring it all out.

If you've been with us from episode 1 or just joined the party, we'd love to hear from you. What are YOUR goals for 2026? Drop them in the comments – let's dream big together.

Season 2 is already in the works, and we can't wait to bring you more typos, plot twists, and real talk about indie publishing in the new year.

What's working, what's not, and the unexpected victories we didn't see coming.

In this episode, Donna and Sue are getting real about their wins for 2025 - the planned ones, the surprise ones, and the "wait, that actually worked?" moments. From marketing strategies that finally clicked to writing goals that didn't implode, we're sharing what's been moving the needle in our author businesses this year.

You'll hear about:

• The strategies that are actually bringing in readers (not just likes)
• Writing wins that kept us motivated
• Marketing experiments that paid off
• The fails that turned into wins
• What we're doubling down on for the rest of the year

Whether you're crushing your goals or just trying to keep your head above water, this episode is a reminder that wins come in all shapes and sizes - and sometimes the best ones are the ones you didn't plan for.
