For our final episode of 2021, Marissa chats with Chelsea Bobulski about her new four-book contemporary series - ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS - as well as the ins and outs of planning a series of rapid release companion novels, and why one might want to avoid overlapping timelines if possible; why your "learning" manuscripts are just as important as the book that gets published; the pros and cons of writing and releasing books on an accelerated schedule; the power of having a great support system at your side, especially when you're growing your career and raising a family at the same time; and choosing to focus your energy on social media channels and promotion strategies that you enjoy and can do well, rather than spreading yourself too thin and risking burnout.
