Megan Tady's second novel, Bluebird Day, launches on Dec. 3, 2024 (pre-order now!) In her second appearance on the podcast, we had the most wonderful chat about: 

  • How book launching is like a salmon run (it's such a great analogy). 
  • Strategies for best working with an editor while writing 
  • Meg's writing process, from first to final draft, and how it evolved from the first to the second book
  • The best part of Meg's publishing journey
  • Meg's strategies for navigating the “wacky and wild” publishing industry and What she wasn’t at all prepared for when it comes to being an author
