In this episode, I chat with Sara Sampson and Madlené Nel from the Tea and Tales Podcast! I’ve been listening to these ladies during my working hours and trust me—they are so much fun! They talk about writing craft, interview authors and agents, and provide valuable advice for beginner writers, especially those who are going through the traditional publishing journey.This time I get to ask the questions and learn everything about their stories, writing process, their similarities and differences and their biggest pet peeves!Hope you enjoy our chat—I had a blast!Keywordswriting, authors, podcast, publishing, beta reading, creativity, storytelling, journey, romance, fantasyChapters00:00 Introduction00:56 Sara's Story03:43 Madeleine's Story07:53 Publishing Aspirations11:52 Plotters vs. Pantsers23:31 Exploring Series 46:27 Author Heroes50:18 Writing AdviceGuest LinksInstagram:@teaandtalespodcast TikTok: podcastteatalesWebsite: https://teaandtaleswriters.wixsite.com/teaandtalespodcastYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TeaandTalespodcast Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/64b73534qT6wBP0PThxGdY?si=102b6d6b0b744c84 HostInstagram | TikTok: @kkalbabooksEmail: k.k.alba.books@gmail.comRecorded with Riverside.fm: https://www.riverside.fm/?utm_campaign=campaign_5&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_source=rewardful&via=kkalbaMusic by Denis Pavlov from Pixabay: https://pixabay.com/users/denis-pavlov-music-35636692/?utm_source=link-attribution&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=music&utm_content=203388
