This podcast was so much fun! Do give it a listen, particularly if you want to know how I bounced back from being dumped by my first publisher.

Spoiler: I did write a bestseller, eventually.... but not for them!

Page One @ukpageone.bsky.social · Jun 3

Patreon backers now have early access to this week's episode, which is a really fun chat with @callytaylor.bsky.social about her writing journey - which included this very simple request from one of her early publishers... 🤣
