Publishing tea, anyone?! In this super-fun + juicy conversation, Stephanie Mack sits down with friend + fellow author Devon Daniels (Meet You in the Middle, The Rom Con) to share some of the realest stories from inside the glossy biz of traditional publishing. Devon’s new novel Star-Crossed Summer is on the way—and so is the unfiltered talk about the ever-changing industry!

Steph and Devon go full insider mode, tackling your burning questions about the trad world that nobody wants to ask—or answer. They discuss the state of the industry, the blurry line between author friendships and competition, the juggle of motherhood and creativity, the marketing grind, and how to handle criticism. Plus: their favorite romance movies, underrated tropes, and the publishing myths you need to stop believing!

Thank you so much for listening!
