This week Michelle is joined by author, cultural critic, career coach, and the queen of BookTok and TikTok, Leigh Stein. While originally wanting to be an actress, Leigh moved to NYC to go to acting school where she was writing and publishing stories at the same time.  After her first short story was published in a literary journal, she started to think that perhaps writing was her true path, maybe that was what she was supposed to be doing.  Five books later she is here with us to talk to Michelle about her amazing career and gives us an interesting look into the world of publishing, TikTok, and sickness in the name of health.

In This Episode, Michelle Talks About

• What is a career coach for writers?
• Book proposals and 'why should this be a book?'
• The research involved in Leigh's book, Self Care
