I first found Sawyer Bennett when her book Off the Record came out. The guy on the original cover (Jay Byars) was so good looking I bought the book just because of the cover! ๐ LOL

I’m so grateful for this interview. Some of these things (very few) I already implement, but the wealth of knowledge that Sawyer just shared is phenomenal. I can’t wait to incorporate her suggestions into my author journey. She’s my favorite author, so that makes this even better!
