I loved sitting down with the delightful Jenny Rosenstrach, who writes the Substack Dinner: A Love Story. We chatted about how we found our agents, what we learned from working in magazines, dealing with a fear of navel-gazing in our own work, and more. (Please enjoy my full-court press for Jenny to start writing that novel already!)

I finally set up a “podcast” (it gets airquotes) for my Substack Lives, so now felt like the person time to send this out. You can listen to or watch the interview in a browser or the Substack app, or listen to the audio in your favorite podcast player (instructions here). I had so much fun chatting with Jenny, and I hope you enjoy listening in!

Have a great weekend, friends, and don’t stop calling pestering your reps.

Thank you Sim Carter, Stephanie Hedrick, Abigail Nora Brennan, and many others for tuning into my live video with CeCe Lyra of The S**t About Writing Team! You can watch the replay above.

We chatted about social media strategy for new authors, how to make settings come alive, switching genres, getting the most out of a writers’ retreat, differentiating characters’ voices, and more. (And my mom’s poodle made an appearance around the 3:30 mark. Her name is, wait for it…CeCe!)
