We have author Jessica Brody on the show with us today!  Jessica’s written and published multiple books in various genres, including Unforgotten, Unremembered, 52 Reasons to Hate My Father, and The Karma Club.  She also just recently released her newest book Boys of Summer. Two of her Young Adult novels were acquired for feature film adaptations being made by producers who produced ‘Vampire Academy’, ‘Life of Pi’, and ‘Slumdog Millionaire’.

I’m super excited to share today’s episode with you because we fully unpack rituals and habits that do not allow for creative blocks to slow you down. 

We also zone in on the technicalities of writing, the kinds of writing programs and softwares that work the best for writers, how marketing and social media impacts the sales of books and the engagement of your readers, and so much more!
