We’re back with the latest Episode of the House of Chapters Podcast, the Podcast for authors writing serialized fiction on Substack — and for readers who want to discover how those stories are made.This episode is a bit different! Topic wise, you can expect the same talking points as usual (plot in 1 minute, inspiration, writing advice, serials), but my chat with Tell Me a Mystery was just one conversation that flowed from the beginning to the end. Very little to edit, because it was just a genuine chat. I love it when I have the feeling we could talk for hours! This is a public episode.
