Milestone 03: Elissa Soave, Jenni Keer, Chloe Timms

Author's Afterword

15-07-2024 • 47 mins

Celebrating 100 episodes of this podcast, Charlie is joined by Elissa Soave, Jenni Keer, and Chloe Timms for a general bookish chat. This one is big on writing, branding, and marketing, and, if Charlie dares says herself, is one of the most fun episodes of this entire show.

Please note there is a mild swear word in this episode.
