In this week’s episode, Marissa chats with Ellen O'Clover about her debut SEVEN PERCENT OF RO DEVEREUX - as well as her long and twisty journey to publication; how you’ll publish the book you’re meant to publish; researching technology to get inside a character’s head and create believable details that might be outside your own knowledge; about the question of would you want to know the future if given the chance; how giving each character an arc adds depth to the novel, and protecting the magic of writing from the heartbreak of rejection. Bonus: Marissa and Ellen play the MASH game. 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/marissameyer Find out more and follow The Happy Writer on social media: https://www.marissameyer.com/podcast/
