The Shit No One Tells You About Writing Trusting in Yourself and the Process
Oct 26, 2023
Johnny Hobson, a podcast listener, joins Carly and CeCe to discuss query letters and writing techniques. They talk about avoiding a synopsis-heavy query, showing the protagonism of a main character, breaking down love scenes, starting a novel in a non-ideal situation, and writing alternate history. Karma Brown, author of What Wild Women Do, discusses the novel's idea, outlining, getting feedback, epistolary elements, dual POV structure, and positive self-talk.
