Jo McNally
I write the same kind of romances I like to read – stories about characters facing real-life challenges with real-life consequences. The stories are emotional, but still have humor, and love always finds a way to pull the characters through together.

I live in coastal North Carolina with 100 pounds of dog and 200 pounds of husband – my slice of the bed is very small. When I’m not writing or reading romance novels (or clinging to the edge of the bed…), I can often be found on the back porch sipping wine with friends while listening to an eclectic playlist. If the weather is absolutely perfect, I might join my husband on the golf course, where I always feel far more competitive than my actual skill-level would suggest. -

And when I'm not consuming copious amounts of media: binging TV shows, devouring movies, hoarding comic books and inhaling romance novels, I'm writing, dreaming up all sorts of interesting lives and passionate loves.

About 4 years ago I made the decision to try and turn my part time drawing hobby into a full time income. I also decided that chronicling my journey while doing so, would be a good idea. So in December of 2020, I launched my YouTube channel and haven’t looked back since. Over the past 4 years I’ve uploaded around 84 videos covering the topics of self publishing, drawing, design, as well as how to get started on YouTube. And in that time I've also managed to pick up around 16,000 subscribers and set up a pretty decent passive income for myself.

That was phase one of my journey. Now that I’ve documented how I’m going to turn my part time hobby into a full time income; it was time to put those techniques that I've been teaching into practice. M -
