On this episode of Writers Behaving Badly: Annie's on a break and Lisa and Brooke are joined by guest host Kerryn Mayne.

The crew is gaining momentum on their writing goals (as are our fabulous write-alongers) and inching closer to finished manuscripts.

Kerryn and Lisa debate a top US Agent's writing advice (don't submit too early) and Kerryn confesses to being rejected by the same agent (and tells us why).

Plus we spill the tea on authors in disguise!

How to know when your manuscript is 'done'

That it's okay to lean into your book's mysteries
