In this episode, I’m receiving my very first guest: Elizabeth Richardson! She shares how she wrote her first novel as a mother of two, what she learned through querying and being on submission multiple times (including what happens when the publishing fairies aren’t on your side!), and why she decided to publish her novel TRAD on Substack!
