Description
Two writer friends, Marty Vee and Kate Prior, catch up every couple of weeks, checking in on our personal lives, our writing goals, and where we are in our current novels. Marty and Kate can tangent with the best of them, often braiding several ideas together at once, so if you're lost listening, don't worry, we are too. It's a sneak-peak into the scattered processes and methods that go into storytelling and running a small business, two authors' foray into the world of self-publishing: covering book covers, marketing, newsletters, and just writing the damn book.
Oversharing? Never heard of her.
