Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Book Publicity for Introverts with Stacey Lee, NYT-Bestselling Author
Q: Nosa wants to know some writing advice. What are your best methods for writing quickly and effectively?
Stacey explains she is not a fast writer, but emphasizes techniques like walking to loosen ideas, letting creativity breathe, and that break through bottlenecks often comes from changing physical state and routine rather than forcing a sprint of writing.
Book Publicity - Everything You Want to Know
Q: How should an author approach hiring a publicist, and what should they look for in a good fit?
Authors should date around by talking to several publicists for introductory calls to assess personality fit, communication style, and alignment of goals; they should look for a partner who understands their book's needs, timeline, and audience, not just a flashy campaign.
Book Publicity - Everything You Want to Know
Q: What exactly does a book publicist do, and what services are typically offered?
Publicists coordinate media outreach, craft coverage opportunities, pitch reviews and interviews, and guide authors on pieces that can extend beyond a single book, including essays and list placements, while adapting strategies to fit indie or traditional publishing contexts.
