Pull up a chair and hang out with us.

Every week, join writer Amy Avery and a special guest for a chill—and sometimes silly—discussion of writing and publishing. We’ll chat about aspects of craft, the writing journey, and the struggles of author life, while also sharing informative interviews with industry experts and fellow authors.
