Hi, friends! In this cozy Behind the Book episode, I’m sharing what my writing life looks like right now as I gear up for my traditional debut, Twenty Something Else (June 9), while preparing two indie re-releases (When We Blinked and Suing Cinderella) and developing Book Four for June 2027. It’s layered. It’s busy. It’s one of the greatest gifts of my life!
I talk honestly about why I’m loving traditional publishing, what it’s like to work with my team, and #allthethings I'm learning along the way. This season is definitely a quadruple-decker sandwich of deadlines, edits, marketing, outlining, and dreaming up Books Five and Six—and I’m learning to embrace every minute!
I also break down my writing process (hi, thorough outline and daily word count goals!), the tools that changed everything for me (Scrivener + Brick), and why some of the most powerful chapters are written on the days I least feel like showing up.
Thank you so much for being here and cheering me on in this once-in-a-lifetime debut season! I’m savoring every second—and I’m so grateful you’re along for the ride!
