Most authors think about their next book — not their long-term future. But your intellectual property is an asset, and planning for retirement and your estate is one of the smartest business moves you can make.

In this episode, we break down what authors need to know about retirement options, saving on an unpredictable income, and how to protect your books legally so your family (or chosen heirs) actually benefits from your work.

From royalties and rights transfers to wills, trusts, and long-term financial planning, we’re covering it all — without the overwhelm.It’s not just about the career you’re building now. It’s about the legacy you’ll leave behind.
