Author Tech Confidence with Kylie Ross Have you ever opened a new app, clicked around for thirty seconds, and quietly closed the tab? Or been meaning to sort out your author website for six months — but every time you try, you end up with seventeen browser tabs open and a very strong urge to make a cup of tea? You're not behind. You're not bad at tech. You just haven't had someone explain it in the right way yet. Welcome to the very first episode of Author Tech Confidence — the podcast for authors at any stage who want to run a confident, organised writing business without the overwhelm. In this launch episode, host Kylie Ross introduces the show, lays out exactly who it's for, and makes the case for why tech confidence isn't just a "nice to have" — it's what frees you to actually focus on your writing. Season 1 is called The Foundations, and this is where it begins. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why feeling overwhelmed by tech doesn't mean you're not a "tech person" — and what actually makes the differenceWhat a modern author business really requires on the tech side (and why it's less scary than it sounds)What happens when authors build tech confidence — and why it changes everything about how they run their businessA full preview of Season 1: the four content pillars — tool reviews, author business basics, AI for authors, and publishing & marketingWhy tech confidence isn't about mastering every app — it's about knowing enough to make good decisions and stop second-guessing yourself Who This Show Is For This podcast is for you if you've ever thought: "Everyone keeps telling me I need an email list, but I don't even know where to start.""I know I should be on social media, but every platform feels like learning a new language.""I've been putting off sorting out my author website for months.""I just want to write — but I know I can't ignore the tech forever." You don't need to love tech. You don't need to be naturally good at it. You just need a calm, jargon-free space to learn what matters, one episode at a time. Whether you're setting up your first author platform, juggling multiple pen names, or just trying to figure out which tools are actually worth your money — this is your show.
