Meet the Author: Kayla Hicks

1 min read

An award-winning multi-genre indie author who is dedicated to passing on experience in the writing and publishing business to others

started out just like everyone else, with a story and the need to get it down on paper.

There were bumps in the road as I paid thousands to publish my first book, thought I’d never publish another, and then came to realize I could learn the publishing industry and its processes on my own.

As a result of all that, I made it a goal of mine to pass along anything I learned about writing, publishing, and audience building. Why? Because I want to help other writers and authors avoid the mistakes I made.

If you haven’t heard of me yet, here are some things I write about:

  • Marketing for authors

  • Social media growth

  • Author platform

  • Interacting with readers

  • Making connections in the writing world

  • Promotional images and cover creation through Canva.com

  • Cutting costs without cutting corners in publishing
