Hey friend — in this episode we walk through what traditional publishing actually looks like: query letters, literary agents, publishers, and the sometimes maddening middle steps like tracking submissions and pitching on social platforms.

You’ll hear practical tips (use a tracker, tailor each query, try pitch parties, and yes — let AI do some of the heavy lifting), plus honest talk about the fears that slow writers down and how to keep going.

Take a deep breath — you’ve got a story worth sharing, and this episode gives you the roadmap and encouragement to start querying with confidence.

Hey friend — revision can feel painful, but this episode makes it less scary. We walk through alpha vs. beta readers, how to collect feedback that actually helps, and simple tricks (read-alouds, focused groups, and smart stops) to make revising doable.

So grab your favorite drink, get comfy, and let’s turn that messy draft into something you’re excited to publish — not perfect, just yours.

Today’s episode — Adulting — walks you through copyrights, ISBNs, and the legal things writers usually dodge. Think of it as paperwork with heart: small steps that keep your work yours.

It’s not glamorous, but protecting your words is worth it. You wrote it — now lock the door, then get back to writing the good stuff.

Hey friend — huge congrats on finishing your manuscript! This season of Writers' Doubt Club is all about what comes next: revisions, beta readers, copyrights and ISBNs, cover design, and whether to self-publish or chase a traditional deal.

We’ll keep it practical, honest, and encouraging — think of us as your biggest fans cheering you past doubt so you can get your work out into the world. Tune in and let’s do this together.

Hey friend — this episode is an invitation to dig into why your writing matters: the lessons you leave, the impressions you make, and the responsibility your words carry.

We talk about wanting readers to be entertained and maybe a little uncomfortable, about themes like "family is what you make it" and "be yourself," and how real growth happens when characters are pushed out of their comfort zones.

We also get honest about biases — the little assumptions that can sneak into your work — and how being aware, inclusive, and thoughtful about characters (from small towns to different cultures) can open readers' minds and build empathy.

This workbook pushed us to organize, face hard questions, and get ready to publish. Congrats for showing up — progress over perfection. Doubt less, write more. We can’t wait to read your work.

Where uncertainty meets creativity. Doubt less, write more. Today's episode is called The Importance of Being Earnest. We're going to talk about why writing matters to us and the world.

Join us as we look at how writing helps us understand ourselves and connects us to other people. Look at all the reasons we find to write about our experiences, made up worlds, or a little of both. This is our last episode of season 1 and we're so happy to have you go through this journey with us!!

Hey friend — The side-character web in the workbook is a genius, simple way to map who supports, challenges, or reveals parts of your main character. Give each person a purpose, even the bubbly Brenda or the mysterious Thorne — they’ll stop being filler and start pushing your story forward.

Fill the circles, name the faces (yes, even the Martian leaders), and use the right-hand notes to add age, goals, quirks, and how they change your MC. It’s quick, fun, and honestly game-changing — go make those side characters matter.

Hey friend — in this episode we chat about how side characters and pets quietly hold up your story, when to give them backstory, and how to keep them consistent so they feel real without stealing the show.

Short tips, funny affirmations, and a workbook nudge to help you track names, motives, and where that dog belongs in every scene. Doubt less, write more.
