In today’s new episode, we have award-winning and New York Times bestselling author Maria V. Snyder of the “Study” series.

In our conversation, you’ll learn what inspired the idea for Maria’s novel "Poison Study", the first book to kick off the Study series. We have a detailed look inside her research and writing process, and what her revision process is like. We discuss the importance of creating a story bible and keeping track of the details when writing a book series, and how to develop and maintain romantic relationships throughout.

You’ll learn how writing and critique groups create deadlines and provide support for your writing. And Maria shares advice on finding your voice as a mother and a writer, and how to create intentional writing time with a busy schedule.
