The BookWorthy Show

That’s why there are millions of talented writers who simply hide in the woodwork, dreaming about the day they’ll get to write for a living. But S.D.

After listening to this interview, you’ll be inspired to quit dreaming and take the next step on your journey to making a living as a writer.
