Author Elisa Lorello boards the struggle bus and tells her story of going from self publishing the #1 book on Amazon and quitting her day job to getting dropped by her publisher only a few years later. She tells Liz and Lisa how she not only found success once more but how she learned what was important after facing the ultimate rejection.

When author Jen Coburn got her first book deal and snagged a six figure option, she thought she had made it. Little did she know the twisty path her career would take in the next several years and that she'd bottom out before switching gears (again!) to sell a historical fiction novel that everyone is buzzing about. Listen to her Struggle Bus story, filled with incredible heart and humor.

Liz and Lisa talk to "The Davids" (as they call them) about what a ride on the struggle bus feels like for a screenwriter. Hint: (Bumpy!) David Wagner and David Allensworth each separately enjoyed early success in their writing and producing careers but haven't had a hit together in several years. The Davids are currently adapting Liz & Lisa's novel, The Status of All Things. They'll give the "status" on that screenplay, now called Keep Me Posted, and explain why they hope it will help get them back on top.
