0:00.0	Welcome to the Creative Pen podcast.
0:03.7	I'm Joanna Penn, thriller author and creative entrepreneur, bringing you interviews, inspiration and information on writing craft and creative business.
0:14.6	You can find the episode show notes, your free author blueprint and lots more at thec the creative pen.com. And that's Pen with a
0:23.7	double N. And here's the show. Hello creatives. I'm Joanna Penn. And this is episode number 775 of the
0:31.9	podcast. And it is Friday the 11th of October 24 as I record this. In today's show, I'm talking to Emily E.K. Murdoch
0:41.7	about writing historical fiction and nonfiction, traditional publishing and indie, multiple streams of
0:49.1	income, book marketing, personal branding and more. So that's coming up in the interview section.
0:57.2	In writing and publishing things, on the self-publishing advice blog this week, which is run by
1:03.3	the Alliance of Independent Authors, there's an article on planning for retirement,
1:08.3	which quotes me amongst others. The article goes through why it's important to plan

1:45.8	security. And with that security comes freedom, the freedom to focus on writing and creating,
1:52.0	knowing your financial future is secure. The article lists the various tax-efficient structures
1:57.9	for the US and the UK, which here are the SIP, personal pension and the
2:02.8	ISA, a bit like the American IRA. And there are tips from authors from a number of different
2:07.7	countries, as well as what to do about healthcare if you're a freelancer in the USA.
2:12.7	So I'll link to that in the show notes. That's on self-publishing advice.org. And I have my list of money books, if this is something you want to investigate in the show notes that's on self-publishing advice.org and I have my list of money
