Show Notes
Join Vicky and Joe as they talk about the wonders of short stories, the importance of pronouns (because they ARE important—tune in if you’re in a frothing rage about how “woke” I am and find out why), and the fantastic hot seat book coaching event Vicky ran last week. They run through the 5 questions she chose, and show you how you can get past similar challenges. Happy listening!
