    Earn Your Emotional Moments - with Julie Leong

    On earning the heightened moments in your writing. Also, you don't have to be writing to be writing!   Julie Leong is a Chinese Malaysian American fantasy author who grew up across both New Jersey and Beijing, China.

Julie lives in San Francisco with her husband, their rescue pup, and a magical Meyer lemon tree in the backyard that somehow always has ripe lemons. When she’s not writing, she enjoys making unnecessary spreadsheets and flambéing things. The Teller of Small Fortunes is her debut novel.  🎉 Unstuck is now available HERE!

    When a Pantser Turns Into a Plotter - with Ann Rose

    How to go from feeling your way through a story to actually knowing a bit about it before you start! Also - what does a cat have to do with kindness?  Ann Rose is a typical Taurus—loyal but stubborn, which means being an author is perfect. While asking the private group chat for ideas on what to include in this bio, Ann was reminded that some of her greatest qualities are her awesome best friends from high school—a fact she couldn’t argue with. She loves dark chocolate, sarcasm, her family, tacos, and her cats—obviously not in that order. Ann also writes young adult novels under the pen name A.M. Rose. The Seemingly Impossible Love Life of Amanda Dean is her most recent novel.  🎉 Unstuck is now available HERE!
