In this video coaching call, I am answering question for aspiring author, Tammy Lowe. Among other things, we discuss:

✅ Show vs tell and how to become a pro at showing

✅ Myths around prologues and epilogues

✅ Whether your fiction book should have a subtitle

✅ Word count for a novella vs a novel

✅ Should you wait to write your magnum opus until you have a few books under your belt first

So give this episode a watch and tell me in the comments whether you favor (or hate) prologues!
