We loved chatting with Joanne about all things writing-related, including how finding an agent has (and hasn’t) changed since she broke in, the current state of the publishing industry and how social media isn’t all bad for writers! We also deep-dive into her writing process, talking about planning, revising and why reading your writing aloud is the best tool a writer has.
