I chat with Pam about how she got her start in writing, the ups and downs of publishing, resilience as a writer and the realities all authors need to be aware of. We discuss the importance of setting in stories and how getting deep into POV can elevate your writing.
Pam, as always is super generous with her wisdom and knowledge. You'll want to take notes on this one!

Ask The Author with guest author Philippa Kaye
This week, I chat with Philippa Kaye, author of Girl Detectives Just Want To Have Fun and Girls' Lips Are Sealed
We chat about her early love of disappearing into stories, how making up bedtime stories for her kids drew her to writing, and her path through hybrid publishing into indie publishing. Pip also talks about her writing process as a writer with ADHD, and what writing has taught her about creativity. We also chat about creativity in society and why we need to support our creatives more.
It's a wonderful conversation that I'm sure you'll all enjoy. And great fun too!
