Hey there word nerds!

Today, I have the pleasure of interviewing Laura Jamison.

Laura Jamison is an attorney from Whitefish Bay, Wisconsin, where she lives with her husband and their four children. When she is not practicing law or writing, she is driving her kids to one of their many activities in her minivan. Laura is a graduate of Dartmouth College and the University of Michigan Law School. All the Right Mistakes is her debut novel and what we will be talking about today.

In this episode Laura Jamison and I discuss:

  • How the pressure to compete on social media inspired a character in her book All the Right Mistakes
  • Why having a clear, mathematical structure to her multiple POV story was refreshing to her readers and keeps her on track as a writer.
  • What she did to land an agent and her journey to being published through She Writes Press.

Plus, her #1 tip for writers.
