THE BIG SCREEN MAGIC OF QUIET CONFIDENCE

11 books in 14 years. Two major films coming to Netflix (with more adaptations to come). Bestselling Author Jennifer E. Smith is having a moment right now, but it wasn't always that way.

Old friend of the show, Jennifer E. Smith, reflects on her "irrational (quiet) confidence era," before Hollywood came knocking, and the rejections that laid the groundwork for her remarkable success across formats.

We reach Jennifer on the cusp of the release of the film of her novel, "Hello Goodbye and Everything in Between," to talk about the wonder of seeing a small village build out your fantasy world, the difference between film and novels, how she handled James' ribbing at St Andrews, and so much more.
