What You Learn Between Your Debut and Sophomore Novels with Author Olivia Wolfgang-Smith

My guest today on CREATIVE. INSPIRED. HAPPY is Olivia Wolfgang-Smith, whose latest novel, Mutual Interest, has been described as a witty and joyful, queer Edith Wharton in gilded age New York.
Today, we talk about:
the most important benefit of having writer friends or critique partners
finding the belief in yourself that you can write a full-length novel
the difference between publishing a debut novel versus a sophomore novel, including whether it was easier to write a book the second time around
-why she chose to hire a freelance publicist, and so much more.
I hope you enjoy the show!
