This week on the podcast, Rachel & Lynne's guest is freelance writer and author Sue Williams. Sue talks about her long and successful career as a writer and journalist and how it led to non-fiction books and now historical novels.

During the episode, Sue talks about:

How her career started and when she moved to freelancing
Her love of travel writing and why she still does journalism
Why following a brief and making it easy for editors will give you more work
Why it's hard to pitch story ideas, and why it's important
How she secured an agent and publisher for her books
The challenge of writing historical fiction and why it's harder than she thought
How she uses AI and why it will never replace human content
