Descripción

In this episode, we sit down with fantasy author Katelynsam to talk about her journey from traditional publishing to taking full creative control as a self-published author. She breaks down how she found her voice as a writer, what pushed her to step into self-publishing, and how that decision completely changed her creative process. From designing her own book covers to building immersive worlds, she shares what it really looks like behind the scenes when you stop waiting for permission and start building your own lane. We also get into her novel The Fated from its genre-bending structure to the haunting water-inspired setting where even the atmosphere feels like a character. Katelynsam walks us through her inspiration, the emotional layers of the story, and why she leans into storytelling that doesn’t fit neatly into one box. Plus, she talks upcoming projects (yes, anime-inspired fantasy 👀), audiobook plans, and what she’s learned about connecting directly with readers in a digital-first publishing world. If you’re into writing, publishing, or just love hearing how stories actually get made this one’s for you.
