Ink in Your Veins

You’ll adore this episode where the Pens to Paycheck Authors wax lyrically and hilariously about all things writing, business, and mindset!

Samantha B. Cummings writes gripping young adult fantasy novels and atmospheric dark academia mysteries for teens.

Matilda Swift writes culinary cozy mysteries that are quintessentially British. Her books offer more twists than a country road, pairing them with quirky characters who feel like old friends.

The Pen to Paycheck Authors Podcast
is hosted by Sam & Matilda, two indie authors with over a dozen books between them, but still working towards the ‘quit the day job’ dream. They're documenting all the steps they're taking to reach success, and pulling back the curtain on indie publishing.
