Hey, I'm Goran...
Hi, I'm Goran Yerkovich, an author, podcaster, and consultant.
My debut Canadian publication of literary nonfiction is called a 'Furby Call Centre' available in Better Next Year, edited by JJ Lee and published by Tidewater Press, available at Indigo.ca, Amazon.ca and independent bookstores nationwide as of November 1st 2023. An abridged version was published by The Tyee.
As of Nov 24th 2023, Better Next Year was ranked No 2 on Amazon.ca's Hot New Releases for Canadian Collections! So to celebrate this news I wrote an article on the three big lessons I learned getting published.
I'm a graduate of Simon Fraser University's 'The Writers Studio' class of 2023 where I studied under the mentorship of Governor General Award Finalist JJ Lee, Author of Measure of A Man: The Story of a Father, a Son and a Suit. I also participated in a live reading by the SFU class at Vancouver's Writers Festival on Oct 22, 2023. This event was to celebrate our launch of Emerge '23 - an anthology collection of short stories created and produced by SFU. My short story published within the collection is called 'The Report Card.'
In the fall of 2017 I founded The-Inspired.com as my way of contributing back to the world. Never before has so much powerful, educational, and life-changing knowledge been available to us online. The over 150 free articles now read in over 130 countries are my best of compilation of stories, interviews, and lessons that I hope connects us, and adds new insights into the complex world we live in.
I'm also a Podcaster and the host of The Authentic You Podcast by Goran Yerkovich. This 'How-to' and 'Philosophy' themed coming-of-age-career-advice podcast has connected with audiences around the world, ranking 8th in Singapore, 19th in Sweden, 26th in Russia, 30th in Canada, 68th in Norway, 77th in the United Kingdom, and 90th in Italy, according to Chartable Digest. Press releases were picked up by the associated press and over 240 new agencies at the time of launch....UPDATE - Season 2 is now available!
