Former CNN Senior Copy Editor John DeDakis turned a legacy of journalism into a thriving multi-stream writing business and mystery series. This interview uncovers the "subconscious straw" method for storytelling and the brutal reality of the 2026 publishing landscape.

In this episode of The Writing Biz, Laura Williams sits down with John DeDakis to discuss the transition from high-stakes journalism to mystery suspense. John details his journey querying 39 agents over 10 years and why "personal authenticity" is the most critical tool in a writer's arsenal. We dive deep into the mechanics of the editor-writer relationship, the value of moving "toward the pain" in your prose, and how to build a sustainable business through coaching, teaching, and keynote speaking.

Whether you are a novelist struggling with your first draft or an established author looking for new revenue streams, John’s "slow learner" success strategy provides a roadmap for long-term career growth.
