What does hosting a dinner party have to do with writing a book? Everything, it turns out.

In this episode, Amanda Polick dives into Chelsea Fagan's Having People Over and draws surprising parallels between the art of entertaining and the writing process — from reclaiming formality in your creative work to why going deeper (not wider) is the move that changes everything.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• Why we've gotten too casual with our writing — and how to fix it

• The "back-pocket recipe" method for finding your creative focus

• How to combat the loneliness of writing by inviting people into your process

• What the Golden Hour coaching call is and how it can help you take your next book step

Perfect for: Aspiring authors, writers stuck in the idea phase, creatives craving community and a clear next step.
