The Art of Writing Fiction: Insights from Brian Livingston

A Conversation with One of My Favorite Startup Authors

Brian Livingston just published his second book, now available on Amazon! You start one company and you're an entrepreneur. You start a second, and you're a serial entrepreneur. With this second book, Livingston is officially an author of novels. He is the real deal!

Join me and learn about becoming a writer, the business of writing, and also Brian Livingston's newest novel, Folkston.

In this conversation, we talk about:

- What it means to be true to your calling
- How to keep going even after all your expectations are dashed
- The importance of staying fiscally responsible while still chasing your dream
- Brian is a two-time published author. He's a former attorney, having graduated from Washington and Lee Law, and practiced as a prosecutor in a small town in the South Carolina mountains. He currently works full-time in a land conservatory non-profit and is a full-time writer of fiction novels.

- I am sure you will find Brian memorable. He is a unique cat as he graduated with high honors from Clemson University, successfully hiked the Appalachian Trail from Georgia to Maine, and now has written two great novels:

The Habits of Squirrels (published in May 2022)

Folkston (published in April 2025)
