It has been ONE YEAR since the #badasswriters podcast began! Can you believe it? Today, I tell you how this all got started and answer some questions ya'll have asked me including who I am, how I got here, why I do what I do, how I find the time, what I'm working on, plus dedications and thank yous and what I'm looking forward to in 2023.
Then, I highlight advice from a few of the past year's episodes, including:

the importance of the writing community (author Hannah Sharpe, S1E5)
how to prepare for a debut book launch (author Jessica Payne, S1E6)
elevator pitches and the author + agent relationship (literary agent Cece Lyra, P.S. Literary, S2 Bonus)
comps (literary agent Claire Harris, P.S. Literary, S2 Bonus)
book distribution, marketing, and diversity in publishing (CEO Alex Brown of Rising Action, S3E1)
top five tips for writing flash fiction (author and lit mag editor Tommy Dean, S2E3)
