Erik and Jeanne Anderson have been full-time RVing with their beloved “Hershey Pup” since hitting the road 2020. After their primary remote employment ended unexpectedly, Erik started writing RV related content and the couple did some workamping save on rent. Then they decided to publish a children’s book based on Hershey Pup’s RV adventures.

Knowing nothing about self publishing at the time, they did extensive research and figured it out. They are now working on their second book in the series. And, they share their thoughts on the publishing process, working with editors and illustrators, marketing a book once it's launched, and what they'll do differently next time. They also discuss their best methods for finding remote writing gigs and workamping jobs. Spoiler alert: That boils down to direct outreach and relationship marketing.

GUEST BIO: Erik and his wife Jeanne have been living, remote-working, and traveling full-time around the U.S. and Canada in their mid-size Class A motorhome since July 2020. They love hiking, biking, kayaking, and adventuring with their beloved Cavalier King Charles spaniel, “Hershey Pup”. A well-traveled pup, Hershey has happily wagged his tail through all of the “Lower 48” U.S. states, 6 Canadian provinces, and 38 national parks to date. Erik enjoys contributing his writings to many RV-related magazines, blogs and social media groups. They have published their first children’s book based on Hershey Pup’s RV adventures.
