Have you ever wondered how authors juggle character's voices when writing from multiple perspectives? In this episode of the Write the Damn Book Already podcast, it's just one aspect of the creative labyrinth I chat through with Sarahlyn Bruck, author of Light of the Fire (Lake Union Publishing, January 2024) as well as Daytime Drama and Designer You.  

INTERVIEW HIGHLIGHTS

  • The evolution of authors' writing processes and the essential practice of breadcrumbing to keep readers hooked.
  • The art of writing in multiple POV
  • Unforeseen delays and the art of book release timing 
  • Personal challenges authors face when weaving their personal threads into the tapestry of fiction and memoir
  • Sarahlyn's experience working with a book coach (she still has one!) and the impact of editorial feedback
