Hey lovelies,

It was such a pleasure to speak to Arden last night about all things writing, and especially about this elusive diamond we seek which is publication!

Arden is one of publishing’s kindest and most thoughtful people. When she asked me if I wanted to be on her channel, I wasn’t sure if I had anything to share. Deep in the doldrums of rejections, dealing with the reality that I may not get my first women’s fiction novel published any time soon, and no agent in sight, I couldn’t see how talking about my previous successes would help anyone!!

But, thankfully, after winning this award, my Imposter Syndrome has taken a knock on the head, and I wanted to make the most of it! So I messaged her. Serendipitously she had a cancellation and was able to slot me right in, and here we are!

Here’s the recording from last night:

I hope you take something useful from it!

Peace and love,

Sidra
