This week on Writers Behaving Badly: We’re back with New York Times bestselling author Sally Hepworth for Part Two of our rollicking chat. Sally dishes on the realities of social media (hint: don’t waste time building a platform before you’ve written the book), resilience in the face of one-star reviews, and the myth-busting advice every aspiring author needs to hear.She also spills some tea on a library event with Lisa that went hilariously sideways—complete with Maud heckling from the front row…Plus: Lisa can’t take an ugly photo of Sally (no matter how hard she tries), and Brooke yells the F-word directly into Sally’s face. You couldn’t script it if you tried.Follow Sally Hepworth on Substack 😊Pre-order Mad MabelWhat You'll Learn:Why social media can wait until you’ve actually written the book.How to find (and keep) your voice online without hating it.The art of laughing at one-star reviews (including Rhonda’s epic takedown).Why every writer needs resilience and a good sense of humour.Our next Badly Behaved Write-Along is on Tuesday 23rd September @ 7:30pm.
