Marketing should emPower you, not be the bane of your existence.

(I see you, nonfiction author, who despises the word and all that comes with it!)

You’ve found your one-stop-shop for marketing insights from an author who has been there, done that, and knows exactly what you need.

Welcome to The emPowered Author Podcast

This is the deep-dive, share all the good stuff marketing podcast for nonfiction authors who know the power of marketing and want innovative, out-of-the box strategies and tactics that are realistic, attainable and impactful.

Season 5: Ensure Your Visual Story Aligns with Your Written One

Our world has become extremely visual. One that makes us a bit more “social” and, now more than ever before, photos matter. From selfies to live photos and headshot to lifestyle branding, photography is a way we tell stories, and for my author friends out there, I wanted to make sure you have what you need to tell your visual story in a way that complements your written one. This season of The emPowered Author podcast focuses the lens on the photography insights you need to accompany your author branding efforts.

Be prepared for your upcoming author branding photoshoot.

Season 4: emPowering Insights on Author Websites

Authors don’t need a website to stick out; they need one to fit in. Your website should be the heart of your digital visibility and business efforts. Season 4 of the emPowered Author Podcast walks you through everything you need to know (and everything you didn’t know you needed to know) about author websites including insights on what should be included as well as a tip sheet on what you need prior to working with a web developer.

Let’s help you with an author website.

Season 2: What Authors Need to Know About Branding

You have a book; isn’t that your brand?! While your empowering message may be found within your book, you are bigger than your book, and your brand is, too. Every (business) brand — especially your author brand — tells a story. When done right, a brand tells the story you want to share in a way that inspires people to take action, exactly how you would like them to. Season 2 of the emPowered Author Podcast digs into all aspects of an author brand, helping you realize that your brand is much bigger than you realize.

Let’s talk about getting you an author brand.

What I'm Reading

Stephanie Feger is an avid reader and loves sharing her favorite books with others. Through her pop-up “What I’m Reading” episodes, she shares her top 3 takeaways of the books she is currently reading and how they apply to nonfiction authors and their marketing efforts. Some episodes also include interviews with the authors themselves.

Meet Your Host

Hey, I’m Stephanie Feger and emPower is my middle name. Well, not really but it should be! I open every podcast with this line because I truly believe it. (Hey Mom, you down for a middle name change over here?!) In all seriousness, I abso-freakin-lutely love emPowering authors, and that’s the goal of this podcast.

I’ve merged my love for reading books, writing books and marketing books to help you, nonfiction author, be successful. This podcast can help you focus on meaningful marketing strategies and tactics, and stop floundering in the seas of endless possibilities and FOMO (because that’s totally real in our world of online courses, on demand webinars and more social media platforms than I can count).

Grab a pen (and a chai tea latte) and let’s have a conversation about one of the most important efforts you do to help your book achieve the success it deserves (and the success you deserve, too!).

This podcast is FIRE!

I have really enjoyed listening to Stephanie’s engaging topics and she knows the perfect guests to bring on that compliment her in every way.

Great resource for nonfiction authors.

Engaging podcast with tangible, actionable tips and ideas for authors, coaches and consultants. Stephanie is an engaging speaker and the podcast is both enjoyable to listen to and full of useful marketing advice.

Speaks to the need.

This is a great podcast for all authors who are open to learning even while focused on the task at hand of writing. The wisdom and insight from each episode provides a break from the inner struggles we face in our craft.

Thanks for this podcast.

I'm publishing my first traditional book, and this podcast was very helpful in my pre-marketing thought process.
