The Self-Publishing Advice Center podcast featured an interview with Liz Harris on 11 October 2026, highlighting her journey from a lifelong passion for reading and writing to a multifaceted publishing career.
Harris’s path included years of teaching and extensive travel before she entered traditional publishing, eventually transitioning to self‑publishing to gain greater control over her work.
She emphasizes that historical context and place are central to her romance novels, and that the independence of indie publishing offers the creative freedom she values. Harris also stresses the importance of treating publishing as a business, managing finances and marketing with the same rigor as any enterprise.
Even after a brief return to traditional publishing, Harris chose to remain indie, citing the ability to maintain artistic autonomy and direct connection with readers as decisive factors.
