Grab a cup of coffee and settle in for a discussion about all things writerly. I'm a Finnish Canadian author and book coach and I love my coffee, and I love talking about all things writerly. In this podcast, we'll take a coffee break together to chat with authors, publishers, book coaches, marketers, agents, publicists, booksellers, and more. Fun fact: Finns drink the most coffee per capita in the world. Just doing my part for the stats and fueling my writing!
