In Episode 36 of the Write the Damn Book Already podcast, Megan Tady (author of Superbloom, May 2023, Zibby Books) and I chatted about the journey to her debut novel.

INTERVIEW HIGHLIGHTS

• Where the idea for Superbloom came from (Meg always thought her first book would be nonfiction)

• Her writing process: how much of the story did she know when she started versus what had to come as she was writing

• How many years this book took in total to write (and how many agents said “no” before one---who initially said no---said yes!)

• How Meg navigated the writing/edits while raising two young kids

• The value of a writing group (plus, how to find a great one and how to “break up” with one, when necessary)

• What keeps Meg most invested and interested in the story she’s writing (even when she feels a bit stifled)

• Her overall goal as an author and what keeps her moving forward (it’s not about having the best reviews)
