Finish the Damn Book is a podcast for authors who are tired of getting stuck. If you’ve ever stared at a blank page, doubted your message, or felt like giving up on your manuscript, this show is for you.
Your story matters, but only if you finish it. You don’t need more time. You need a plan. Let’s finish the damn book, together.
Host Susie Schaefer knows what it’s like to start over, to question your path, and to wonder if your story even matters. After her own turning point, she found purpose in helping others share their truth through books that make a difference.
In each episode, Susie shares lessons from the publishing world, honest conversations about the writing process, and real tools to help you move forward, whether you’re on page one or page 301.
This isn’t about being perfect. It’s about being real, getting it done, and doing it with purpose.
