On this episode, I talk with debut author Karen S. Chow about  her debut middle grade book, Miracle. It's a book she drafted during National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) so we talk about the fun of writing a first draft during NaNoWriMo, as well as addressing grief and death in middle grade, self publishing versus traditional publishing, and marketing for  authors.

Miracle, by Karen S. Chow
The Weekend Novelist, by Robert J. Ray and Bret Norris
Anne of Green Gables, by L.M. Montgomery
Harry Potter, by J.K. Rowling
