Ep 57: Inside (and Outside) Baseball with Amy Spalding

Guys, Amy and I got IN. TO. IT. From publicity to the alleged good ol' days of YA publishing to answering tough questions from listeners like: conquering that ONE THING you are obsessed with but also might be holding you back, and how to make writing sustainable when you grow to hate it a little.   This is a deep dive - if you don't want to hear about publishing business stuff, we start talking more about the creative side and take the calls about halfway through.   - Amy Spalding - We Used to Be Friends - Goodbye from Nowhere - How to Write an Autobiographical Novel by Alexander Chee - Bad Reputation   Thanks to all listeners, supporters, and Dave Connis for the theme music! Visit our Patreon page or sarazarr.com for more about the podcast and how to be a supporter.
