Listen Later

Author Kathleen Barber joins Polly Campbell to talk about her transition from corporate law to full-time writing and the release of her new book, Both Things Are True. Kathleen shares how her structured writing routine helps her balance family, book coaching, and writing.

She and Polly dive into the pros and cons of shifting from one business into the writing business, the solitude of storytelling, and the challenges of marketing books.

Kathleen also reflects on her shift from suspense to romance, explaining why both genres require “earned” endings to satisfy readers.
