Marissa chats with Tirzah Price about her debut novel - PRIDE AND PREMEDITATION - as well as deepening your romantic storylines by considering each conversation from your love interest's perspective; using Excel spreadsheets to plot a murder mystery and keep your clues organized; immersing yourself in the source material for a retelling in order to stay true to the original characters, even if you decide to go a little wild with the plot; and writing in a period style while still making the language approachable to modern readers.Books discussed in this episode can be purchased from your local independent bookstore or buy them online from the Happy Writer bookshop.org store (that benefits indie bookstores) at https://bookshop.org/shop/marissameyerBooks discussed in this episode can be purchased from your local independent bookstore or buy them online from the Happy Writer bookshop.org store (that benefits indie bookstores) at https://bookshop.org/shop/marissameyer Find out more and follow The Happy Writer on social media: https://www.marissameyer.com/podcast/
