Bekah Brinkmeier is a USA Today bestselling author and ghostwriter behind more than 85 novels. When she’s not deep in a draft, she’s teaching at AutoCrit, speaking at author events, or coaching fellow writers—especially neurodivergent creatives—on how to wrangle their ideas and actually finish what they start. In this interview, we talk about her path to becoming a full-time writer, her ghostwriting experience and the lessons learned, the business and marketing side of publishing, AutoCrit, and much more. This episode is brought to you by AutoCrit—the all-in-one platform to plan, write, analyze, and edit your books.
