Lacey N. Dunham’s debut novel, The Belles, is coming out very soon, so we discuss the intense emotions and anxieties that are common to feel before your book releases (and why maybe all writers need a therapist). 

Lacey also shares her intentional and highly-successful querying strategy, as well as what it was like getting into the publishing world having come from a rural, lower-class background.
