Click Here to ask your book writing and publishing questions!She’s back! One of my all-time favorite guests, Neely Tubati-Alexander, returns to talk about her third novel, Courtroom Drama. As always, she brings a refreshing, no-nonsense take on staying creative and productive in the unpredictable world of publishing.INSIDE THE EPISODE📚 Why Neely sprints through her first drafts instead of obsessing over every word📚 How she embraces her "pantser" style (yep, she often writes the beginning and end first, with no outline in sight)📚 What it’s really like to write books in the cracks of everyday life, and how reality TV, genre-hopping, and real-life fascinations all sneak into her stories📚 Using the writing of the next book to stay grounded when the release of the current one is causing stress📚 Why research is her secret creative fuel, from courtroom procedures to video game design📚 How the evolution of publishing is finally making room for authors to explore their full range of creativithNeely’s approach is honest, energizing, and a great reminder that there’s no one “right” way to do this writing thing.Follow Neely on Instagram @NeelyAlexanderWrites and look for Courtroom Drama releasing May 20th, 2025 fromREADY TO FINALLY BE IN THAT "CAN'T STOP WRITING" FLOW?Grab the free nonfiction or memoir kickstart that's helped hundreds of authors get out of their heads and into the flow: 👉 PublishAProfitableBook.com/chapterone WANT TO SELL MORE BOOKS (WITHOUT THE SELF-PROMO CRINGE)?The Author Visibility Bundle gives you 200+ done-for-you email templates, social media graphics, and other book promo tools designed to help authors build buzz and drive sales, without feeling pushy. 👉  PublishAProfitableBook.com/bookvisibility WONDERING EXACTLY HOW TO SELF-PUBLISH SO YOU CAN STOP GUESSING?Grab the action plan and finally feel confident you’re doing this the right way.👉 PublishAProfitableBook.com/actionplan CURIOUS ABOUT AMAZON ADS AS AN INDIE AUTHOR?Snag the small but mighty tweaks that help your book actually sell before you ever spend a dime on Amazon ads.👉  PublishAProfitableBook.com/trialSupport the show****** Write the Damn Book Already is a weekly podcast featuring interviews with authors as well as updates and insights on writing craft and the publishing industry.
