Why You’re Already an Author

So many writers hold back from calling themselves “authors” until someone else validates them—an agent offer, a book deal, a published book in hand. But the truth is, the title doesn’t come from external approval. It comes from you.

In this episode of The At Home Author Podcast, Vicky Weber unpacks why labels matter, how mindset shapes your confidence, and why you don’t need permission to call yourself an author. Drawing from her own journey as both a writer and an agent, she shares how taking your work seriously from the start changes not just how others see you—but how you see yourself.

If you’ve ever stumbled when introducing yourself, or wondered “Am I really an author yet?”, this episode is your reminder that the title is already yours.
