This week, Eva and Katryn talk about the ins and out of communicating with industry professionals--like the details of signing with agents and editors, and communication expectations after you get a book deal. Your ultra-nerdy hosts blow their own minds as they realize that publishing a book is EXACTLY like The Fellowship of the Ring.

Cross-stitchable line of the week: “We can’t see your bear” -Ben (Katryn’s husband)

*Content warnings: Light discussion of trauma/anxiety

*NOTE: We are taking a mid-season hiatus until June 2023!
