Writing and Selling Fantasy Books with Richie Billing

Fantasy and non-fiction author, Richie Billing, has written several fantasy books and collaborated with other authors.

In this episode, I chat with Richie about his writing process for fantasy, world-building, and collaborating with other authors across the genre.

Richie's day job is in digital marketing, and so it stands to reason that he would use this to his advantage when it comes to selling his books.

He discusses the current digital marketing trends for authors, the benefits of building an e-mail list, and how to use Facebook ads to sell books.

In this episode we discuss:

• Building the fantasy world before writing anything
• What aspects fantasy novels should include
• Richie's process for world-building
• Collaborating with other authors
• Using Facebook ads to sell books
