Show Notes

This week, we're joined by special guest Naomi Kanakia, author of the novels "Enter Title Here" and "We Are Totally Normal," along with last year's handbook "The Cynical Writer's Guide to the Publishing Industry." We dive into the sixth chapter of Little Women, "Beth Finds the Palace Beautiful," where Beth gets the play the piano to her heart's content and Laurie does not. You can visit Naomi online at thewaronloneliness.com and on Twitter at @rahkan.
