Honey B, BB, our House Mouse - welcome Brittany Engstrand on her first interview episode!
B started writing in middle school and got serious into adulthood. She finished an early draft of her first book - then called Maaya and the Mirror - and realized this was The One. B hopped onto Sparkpit and - after a prophetic dream - joined our chaotic family! Tune in to get some insider info on Ascension, B's debut novel, out October 20th!

Lyrics or Lo-fi? Is silence better when writing, or do you try to drown everything else out with your favorite songs? Today, Alyssa, Erika, Az, and Rosa compare and contrast their habits and preferences when it comes to combining music and writing. From video games to metal, 90's pop to...Spongebob? Plant Synth? Inspiration can come from anywhere, so tune in to get some ideas to help your own process!

Editing! Love it? Hate it? Hate it a LOT? Here at SSP, we are lucky to have many editors who love this process which is so often reviled by writers and yet is so important to the creation of a book. Erika (not an editor) gathered SSP editors Ashley, Courtney, Kaitlin, and Susan for a conversation about editing including what they love about it, what their process is, and some common issues they see in manuscripts.
