🌟 Episode Summary:
What does it really take to write and sell a book? 📖 In this episode, Joey Pinz sits down with Louise Harris—author, editor, and founder of LAST Research & Editing—to unpack the gritty truth behind the publishing world.
Louise started writing at 12 and hasn’t looked back. She shares candid insights into the author journey—from ghostwriting thrillers in the bayou 🌾 to making villains out of old high school teachers 😮. Her refreshing honesty reveals how most authors won’t get rich from book sales alone, but can thrive through smart marketing, speaking engagements, and building authority in their niche.
🎯 Top 3 Highlights:
- Publishing Pitfalls: Why the industry is “backwards” and how to avoid the traps
- The Real Work: Why authors must think like marketers from Day 1
- Creative Process: Why fiction writers let characters “take over” their stories
Whether you’re writing your first sentence or stuck in endless edits, this conversation is packed with hard truths, inspiring gems, and actionable advice.

I have used it in weight loss (+130 lbs.), family death, and found a +25 year business. Am I an expert? Absolutely not! Please join me, as I speak to interesting people and find out how discipline affects their career, life, goals, and decisions.
