What's this episode about?

Andrea Fink is a 2nd grade teacher, and it was a pupil who encouraged her to pursue her dreams.

Her debut novel, Mask, has been growing and morphing over the past ten years. It was time to put the story down on paper.

She has big plans for the series, including short stories and a spin-off series.

To make room for her writing, Andrea dropped to part-time hours, but with the impact of COVID-19, her plans for 2020 changed. Find out how she pivoted to make the most of her time in quarantine.

Andrea shares how she uses beta-readers as she writes to get feedback as she goes along, and talks to me about her book launch. Because of lockdown, she again had to pivot from a live launch to a virtual one.

Find out how she did it, and what an AMA is.
