Episode 84: Interview with Carol van den Hende

‍

In today’s episode, I got to chat with my friend Carol van den Hende, author of the award-winning Goodbye, Orchid series and acclaimed public speaker.

‍

She has such wonderful advice for writers at all stages of our careers – whether it's with actually penning our books or marketing our books or spreading the word about them.

‍

We also talked about:

• The process of writing a prequel and how her second book came to be
• The key to managing self-expectations
• How to persevere through the tough parts of your writing project

‍

I know you will come away from this conversation with some wonderful gems from Carol!
