  • SPA Girls Podcast - EP487 - Writer Strengths with Becca Syme
    Feb 12 2025

    This is a SPA Girls Classic Replay of an amazing interview we did a few years ago with Becca Syme.

    Becca Syme holds a master’s degree in transformational leadership and has been a success coach (primarily utilizing the Gallup Strengthsfinder®) for over fifteen years. She’s coached over 5,000 individual authors and creatives through her Write Better-Faster and Strengths for Writers classes & coaching cohorts: six- and seven-figure authors, major award winners, midlisters, and new authors alike.

    Becca talks to us about how we can all write better-faster in our writing careers, using our own unique skills to improve your chances of success. It’s not about tips and techniques for getting more words per hour – it’s about understanding who you are as a writer, your strengths within that, and using those talents in the best way to ensure you are successful.

    Note that some of the links and courses mentioned in the recording may have been updated.

    BIO:

    Holly Roberds started her writing journey with Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Terminator fanfiction before creating her own fantastical worlds brimming with fierce, if not slightly unhinged, heroines and spicy encounters.

    As an Amazon Top 100 Bestseller and Booktok favorite, her paranormal romances have captivated a global audience. Proudly a Colorado girl, Holly jokes about her outdoorsy nature, which is limited to enjoying drinks on patios in Denver.

    She subsists on the tears of her readers and feeds on their lack of sleep like a vampire, savoring every late-night page-turner she inspires.
