I’ve listened to every episode of this podcast and everything I’ve learned from the hosts and guests has been indispensable. This helped me navigate all the twists and turns I encountered in publishing my first book of short stories. I’m grateful for the very real and relatable information.
I’ve gotten so much valuable information. So many of my questions have been answered and I’d like to say to Sara and Jami “how did you know?” Oh that’s right, the show’s name says it all because you all had those same questions when you started out. I also enjoy your conversations and how kind and thoughtful you are, not to just each other, but to your listeners. Thank you ladies from the bottom of my heart. 😍
