The amazing Sandra Kitt joins Jess to talk about getting over trying to write for anyone but yourself, not reading reviews, two steps forward and one step back in racism in publishing, having to prove more and work harder for respect, having a true sense of yourself, writing multiple genres, breaking out of the box through the indie revolution, the genesis of her process over the years and her advice to authors starting today.

Jackie Lau joins Jess Michaels to discuss how indie publishing has allowed her to write the stories she wants to tell, coming to romance late and embracing the genre,  her move to hybrid publishing and the journey to get there, her process (and I get very excited at her ultra-discipline) and accidental marketing genius.
