About this listen
The publishing episode! Ash and Katie discuss their querying journeys, the importance of artistic chemistry with your agent, and the inherent conflict between the art of writing and the business of publishing. Comes with a men's hair retrospective, and a discussion of some of the most ridiculous and/or annoying form rejection language Ash and Katie have seen.
Thanks to all our listeners so far! We've been thrilled to hear that people are enjoying us be unhinged about writing. Feel free to rate and review wherever you listen!
