Writer Mom Life Episode 51: Maya Hughes and Creative Instagram Ideas for Authors

Maya Hughes is a romance author of over a dozen books, with plans to publish another 6 this year! All of that on top of raising two kids overseas where she and her husband work full-time. Daphne and Maya talk about the batching and planning this all requires along with:
 

  • Her journey from law school to writer
  • How writing kept her going when times got tough
  • Her full-time writing goal
  • Getting in 1000 words before 8am target so it doesn’t weigh on her the rest of the day
  • A great instagram time-saving trick (involving cupcakes and wine!)
  • Her go-to scheduling tools for social media
  • A creative idea for IG stories – good for reader engagement but also helps to write the book!
  • Why writing series better for both readers AND authors
  • Knowing yourself as a writer to set your schedule and expectations properly
  • How she updates backmatter for all books every single time there’s a new book
  • How close is she to reaching her goals
  • Her publishing schedule for the rest of the year
