Thank you Elissa & Katherine - such a gift to hang out with you both & hear you chat.

I especially love the comments around sensitivity talking with writers/artists who may have shared very personal things from their lives but not necessarily wanting to talk about them all the time 🧡

So important to hear this, as an aspiring author. The way of the publishing world seems a tad depressing, right now - especially for a white woman who is not young, and also (!) knows no-one famous. Katherine - I cite you as a comparator, but I had not considered approaching you for a quote. Still, as I haven't got an agent yet, I feel you don't need to worry haha. Yet.

Re publicity - Katherine, I think you absolutely should say I really don't want to talk about that, I said what I wanted to say in the book.

Loved this. Such great topics not usually covered. As a new writer of memoir almost at a finished manuscript this was fascinating...and terrifying too! More please!

Love the perspectives you both bring! Can't believe I missed the Barnswallow event, I'm still kicking myself. Any chance of a reprisal? If so, let's dunk in the ocean and hike 'til we drop! 👏🏼❤️🙏🏼
