Writer Mom Life Episode 53: Kelsie Stelting and Why Audio Is Important

Kelsie Stelting has been publishing for a while, but this year, her life changed in a big way… she is a new foster mom to two little ones! This experience, along with many others, influences her work and allows her to think about how it will impact others for years to come. Like how she’s making sure her most recent book, featuring two blind protagonists, will be available in audio so her brother and his friends can enjoy her writing!

In this episode, Daphne and Kelsie also talk about:

• How she and her husband have handled the transition period into foster parenting
• How she managed to launch four books during all this adjustment
• Her usual book production schedule
• Her definition of success when it comes to her writing
• The very special and unique way she decided to become a writer in the first place
• A discussion on the two types of books: those with a deeper message, and those that purely offer an escape
• Some real $$ numbers for 2019 (including a 5-figure month!)
• How she manages her time between writing and family and life, the ideal vs reality, and her plans for the future
• Her advice to other indie authors: DON’T GIVE UP!
• The support she gets from her husband and family
