The Author Next Door is a conversational, table-talk style podcast hosted by two working authors who are actively navigating the writing and publishing journey. Our show is designed for authors who are past their first book and firmly in the “sophomore year” of their careers—no longer beginners, but still building clarity, confidence, and momentum.
We focus on thoughtful, practical conversations about craft, storytelling, marketing, publishing, and the emotional realities of creative work. Some episodes are candid co-host discussions grounded in lived experience, while others feature guests who bring real-world expertise that authors can apply directly to their writing careers.
We’re especially interested in collaborating with guests who work with people and stories—relationship therapists, psychologists, communication experts, editors, publishing professionals, personality or behavior specialists, and experienced editors and authors—who enjoy translating their knowledge into accessible insights. Our interviews are relaxed, respectful, and well-prepared, with an emphasis on meaningful dialogue rather than hype or hard selling.
If you enjoy smart conversation, nuanced topics, and helping authors write better, think deeper, and feel less alone in the process, we’d love to explore a collaboration.
