Описание: EP. 64) Writer Sarah Vessely recounts her first few months as a paid conference speaker (which, accompanied by her writing, is the only job she's ever had). She previews what readers will discover when her second book comes out. On top of all that, she announces a new role she's training to fulfill at Stephanie's publishing company.

CALL TO ACTION

Set your phone up somewhere and record yourself speaking — maybe start with two-minutes at a time. Then another. Then another. Eventually, you have enough to give a talk somewhere.

Let us know how it goes by responding in our show notes at writebettertogether.com/podcast, or in the comments here on YouTube, Facebook, X, or Instagram.



THE FINAL ACT:  We couldn’t get the rights to “Does Anna Kendrick Have a Knife?” so Jon Meyers made three characters out of clay, and Stephanie played “Which one of these characters has knife?” Did she win the fake plastic food? Watch and find out.
