Writing can be isolating. If you're struggling to find someone to bounce around publishing strategies with, we have the solution.

Jeniffer Thompson, a personal branding expert, digital marketing strategist and podcast host, joins Jeanne in a robust conversation that covers way more than just "Do I traditionally publish or self-pub?"

They also dive into working with authors, discovering your writing routine, the importance of authenticity, and ... Jeniffer even reveals a secret desire she's never admitted publicly. Oh, we tore the veneer off and dove right in!
