In today's episode, Bianca, Carly, and CeCe critique query letters and chat with Lauren JA Bear, author of Medusa’s Sisters. During the show, they discuss being 'on trend'; writing counter-narratives; being inspired by mythology; Lauren's inspiration for her latest novel; doing a deep dive when it comes to research; prologues that work; an excellent query letter; and tips for creating the right tone for your novel.
