Just started listening & am loving this podcast. Particularly like that the host admits that writing & publishing a book is 3asier said than done but is also easier than you think--if you know what you're doing. This podcast promises to clue us in on the things we need to know while telling the story of a first-time successful author. Wish I had the time to binge this podcast--i end each episode & can't wait to hear the next one.
