What really goes into turning a story idea into a published book? 📚 In this episode, I sit down with author Katie Zhao to talk about the real side of the publishing industry, editing, deadlines, and all the plot twists along the way.
We dive into mystery writing, Wattpad, My Life with the Walter Boys, and how authors navigate both the creative and business sides of storytelling.
If you’ve ever dreamed of writing a book or just love peeking behind the scenes of your favorite reads, this convo is for you.
