In today's episode, I chat with author Jennifer K. Morita about how she got her agent, how a journalism career helped prepare her for a career in writing, sitting on a book idea for twenty-five years, pitch contests, the Twitter writing community, joining writing associations, becoming the VP of Capitol Crimes, hybrid writing events, tips for mystery writers, and more.

Then, I chat with author Cassandra Yorke about the inspiration behind her debut novel, using personal trauma to fuel writing and help heal, writing a series, genre blending, listening to your story and characters in order to write it, finding a writing community, and more.
