The faster you write, the more books you can publish and the more money you can make from your writing.

We all type slower than we speak, and if you’re typing and creating a story at the same time, you type even slower. But what if you could regularly produce 50 words or more per minute? You’d be able to write a 120,000-word book in a 40-hour work week!

Authors who can write that fast all use dictation. So why do so many authors hesitate to use it?

If you’ve ever tried dictation and felt awkward, slow, or tangled up in the tech, you’re not alone. In this week’s episode, dictation expert Sarah Sawyer shows us the calm, practical way to ease into dictation so it feels natural and actually helps you write more.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

• Which tech tools make it easy? (Hint: You probably already have them!)
• Techniques that help synchronize your creativity, brain, and mouth
• How dictation can propel your writing and possibly save your health

So you wrote a good book, but you can’t seem to get reviews. Do you just throw up your hands? Why do reviews and ratings even matter?

Well, the more reviews a book has, the better it will sell and the more reviews it will get. Without the social proof of reviews, readers scroll past your book listing, algorithms ignore you, and sales flatline.

So, how do you get more book reviews?

In this week’s episode, we’ll hear from Joe Walter of Independent Book Review. You’ll learn

• Three different kinds of reviews that can help your book gain visibility
• How ratings and reviews differ (and the easiest places to get each)
• Which tools can make the process of gathering reviews more efficient

No reviews = no trust = no sales. Find out how to fix that. Listen in or read the blog version and learn to use book ratings and reviews to increase your author credibility, book visibility, and sales.
