Ep 75: I'm presenting at Perfect Your Process summit! (LIVE)

What is author voice—and why is it the #1 thing agents and editors look for?In my first Substack live video, I share why I'm presenting at the Perfect Your Process Summit 2026, how my Hollywood acting career taught me what makes a writer's voice unforgettable, and how you can join me for free.3 or 4 years ago I fell down the online writing summit rabbit hole. As a disabled writer, it was my only way to connect with other authors. I discovered some British guy named Daniel David Wallace and followed everything he did.Now in 2026, I'm certified in his Character-First teaching method, I work with him, I've hired him to coach my own novels—and I'm finally presenting at one of these summits I used to watch from the sidelines.My 2018 phone couldn’t handle the 97 degree heat so some of the sync is off in the recording.IN THIS VIDEO:• How I booked my second audition ever—and what casting directors taught me about snap judgments• What got me full manuscript requests on every novel I queried• Why Hollywood was easier than traditional publishing (!!)• What happened when I built an AI bot to replicate my voice• Why author voice is the one thing that AI-proofs your writing• What you get with the free summit pass vs. the All Access Pass🎟️ The summit is FREE to watch live (March 21–24, 2026).
