The word you closed with, Evelyn--"warm"--describes the entire conversation. It felt like I was sitting in my living room with two good friends. Lovely, open interview.

This made me smile, Diana. I love knowing that you always tune in. It's wonderful to get to imagine you there in the "living room" with us!

I felt very lucky to stumble upon this conversation at this moment in time. In the midst of editing my first novel, you both have nurtured my confidence to continue the quiet lonely work of beginning my writing journey. Thank you!

I absolutely loved this conversation! It was so encouraging to hear that you don't need an MFA to be a successful writer. Also: I want to be IRL friends with J.C.! 😂 Thank you for another good one, Evelyn! ❤️

I felt the same way when I was talking about her. Literally right after we turned off the camera for our recording, we said OMG let's be friends now please!

So glad you loved this one, Katrina! I'm always happy to hear from other writers who are also self-taught. It's so encouraging.

Just came here to say I appreciate that you can be a bestselling author without having a creative writing degree and that you can be self taught ❤️
