SPA Girls Podcast - EP546 - Interview with LUCY SCORE: Breaking Out / Advice For New Authors 03/31/2026

SPA Girls Podcast - EP546 - Interview with LUCY SCORE: Breaking Out / Advice For New Authors She's back! NYT #1 Bestseller, Lucy Score last joined us back in March 2021 , before launched her into the stratosphere! In this episode, Lucy talks about what her breakout moment actually looked like from the inside, how she's navigated the shift from working author to household name (and instant #1 NYT Bestseller), and what's stayed surprisingly the same. We dig into the practical stuff , including her evolving covers, brand-building, the Riley Thorn series, and advice for emerging authors. Plus the mindset it takes to keep showing up at the page when the pressure (and the audience) keeps growing. Lucy is just as genuine and delightful behind the scenes as she is in public, and we couldn’t be more thrilled for her success (and why this is the third time she’s been on the show!). Whether you’re deep in your publishing journey or just getting started, this honest, fun and inspiring conversation is a must-listen (or watch). About Lucy Lucy Score is an instant #1 New York Times bestselling author of contemporary romance. She grew up in a literary family who insisted that the dinner table was for reading and earned a degree in journalism. Her books have been translated into thirty languages and her international bestseller Things We Never Got Over has been optioned for television. She writes full-time from the Pennsylvania home she and Mr. Lucy share. When not spending hours crafting unforgettable characters, Lucy can be found reading books other people wrote, snacking, and sometimes even working out. 💗 The SPA Girls podcast is sponsored by everyone who supports us on Patreon.

SPA Girls Podcast - EP542 - AI Assistance For Authors with Alessandra Torre 03/04/2026

SPA Girls Podcast - EP542 - AI Assistance For Authors with Alessandra Torre AI is a hot discussion point in the author community these days, and we're joined again by bestselling author and educator, , to help us unpack this topic. At the outset, we acknowledge that this is a difficult topic to cover. From feeling fear to excitement and everything in between, authors cannot deny the reality of the new technologies arriving (and the "new language" around it which can be confusing.) So we start by asking how Alessandra approaches AI use from her perspective as an indie author who has written and published more than 35 books over many years, founded Inkers Con and is the CEO of Authors AI. She shares her definition of generative AI, assistive AI and responsibility, and how authors could use it for non-creative assistance. This is a meaty episode and one we hope listeners will take something from no matter how they feel about the topic and we're grateful to Alessandra for joining us! About Alessandra Alessandra Torre is a New York Times, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal bestselling author of over 35 novels, and does not use AI to write. However she does have some great ideas for using AI tools to help with the marketing specializing in contemporary romance and domestic suspense, more recently writing as A.R. Torre. She is a prominent hybrid author, speaker, and founder of Inkers Con and the CEO of Authors AI.

SPA Girls Podcast - EP540 - The Inflexion Point for Authors with Nicholas Erik (Part Two) 02/18/2026

SPA Girls Podcast - EP540 - The Inflexion Point for Authors with Nicholas Erik (Part Two) Part Two of Two "Currently .... we're at a unique industry-wide inflection point. Whether you're a new or established author doesn't matter. You have the opportunity to grow your career much faster than under normal circumstances." ~ Nicholas Erik joins us again with fantastic insight into the impact technology is having on the publishing world — right down to us as individual authors. Now this isn't a pro or anti AI episode — it's about understanding how we as authors can adapt to these technology shifts, overcome our pain points through technology, and how the companies we're dealing with on a day-to-day basis are utilizing it. Nick makes a really compelling case that the next three years could be a once-in-a-career moment to level up, and he's got this beautifully simple framework for cutting through the noise and focusing on what actually moves the needle. And we had so much to talk about that — for the first time in a long time — we've split this into two episodes, because we didn't want to cut a single thing.
