I did something impulsive - I booked a two day writing retreat! I'm working on revisions to my book and wanted to set aside dedicated time to work on them.

I often get asked for my best piece of advice for new writers. It's hard to pick just one, of course, but this week's podcast episode covers a piece of advice that I haven't talked about much. It's something I did as a new writer, and it helped me finish my novel, develop a super efficient writing routine, and strengthen my craft.

It's a behind the scenes episode! Hear what your editor is REALLY thinking (but probably won't ever share with you.)

A few weeks ago, I solicited thoughts and feelings from my community about AI entering the book writing industry. I share the concerns and general sentiments I received on TikTok and Instagram, and I also talk through my own complicated feelings as a writer and editor (and someone whose job could be very much impacted by AI in the next ten years.)
