#268 - Interview with author Kay A. Oliver

Talking with Kay A. Oliver felt like stepping behind the curtain of an industry. That seriously loves control more than creativity. Kay shares her path from Hollywood expectations to independent authorship. Seeing why walking away from traditional gatekeeping. Was the only way to write honestly, and freely. We get into what it really means to own your stories, your voice, and your pace. Within a business that constantly tries to rush and reshape you.
We talk about writing strong female characters without turning them into clichés. Why lived experience matters more than trends. How independence gives writers room to breathe, and break open. Kay opens up about creative freedom, discipline, and the quiet confidence it takes. To keep going when there’s no studio, no machine, and no one telling you what to do next.

This conversation is for writers and creatives who feel boxed in by expectations. Kay’s perspective reminds you that the work gets better. When you stop asking for permission and start trusting your instincts.
