March 2024 Q&A with Anne Freeman on Me That You See

Welcome to Kelly's Writerly Q&A, a monthly blog series that is now a podcast!

Listen to my fifth episode, this one is from the archives when I chatted to Anne Freeman, multi-award winning author of contemporary fiction. Me That You See is her second novel and there's still so much value in this chat. This book will appeal to fans of Margo's Got Money Troubles by Rufi Thorpe.

We discuss:

How Anne was feeling on the eve of her second book launch.

How Anne puts together the best book launches.

Why Anne made her own book birthday cake.

How Anne injected her experience as a promotional model into this book.

What writing Me That You See looked like in comparison to her first book.

The importance of making herself available to people within the writing community.

Priorities and how to find time to write.

Thank you for listening!
