I’ve written and published six cozy mysteries... but I didn’t get everything right the first time.

In this episode, I share the biggest mistakes I made while writing my first series (and what I’d do differently now). From not planning the series arc clearly enough, to doubting my messy drafts, to relying too much on other people’s advice -- I’m breaking down what I learned and how you can avoid the same pitfalls.

If you’re scared of “messing up” your novel, this one will help you see mistakes as experiments, not failures.
