This is a podcast for authors by authors! (And also readers who want the scoop on what authors are REALLY thinking.) Join Valerie Biel and T.K. (Tracey) Sheffield as we share topics to help our fellow writers as well as fun tidbits on what we’re reading and where we’re roaming. 2024 will have 10 episodes on topics like agent searching (episode 1), indie vs traditional publishing (episode 4), book launch basics (this episode), helpful writing conferences (episode 2), why we write what we write (episode 3) and more!

ABOUT EPISODE 9:
We each list five things that were important or success for our fall book launches and sprinkle in a few tasks/situations that proved difficult. In publishing, you can be sure that not everything will go as planned and we’re honest about those pieces. But mainly, we’re celebrating the best of our launches and our gratefulness at being part of such a wonderfully supportive writing community.
