Lesbians Who Write Podcast

After a decade in publishing and five years of podcasting, TB's still baffled by how draining books launches can be. She and Miranda are pumping out words in their enemies-to-lovers, fake relationship summer book. TB wishes she could whip up snappy comebacks on the spot instead of three days later. Story of her life, it seems. In Clare's universe, Just Kiss Her is with the ARC team—her first standalone launch in a year! And brace yourself: her latest audiobook sailed through without a single correction. Talk about a shocker! Meanwhile, her Christmas novel's chugging along, set to land on the editor's desk by July. For the last episode, they discuss their final thoughts about the podcast. Find out what the podcast has meant to them, how they’ll fill their time now, and what the future holds. Thank you for all the love and support for 200 episodes! Happy listening!

Are Your Nipples Centered? (Take Two) The penultimate episode sees our hosts telling tales of their lives. For TB, she spilled the tea (literally), she got spooky, and she's loving getting snarky in her upcoming novel. For Clare, she's readying her upcoming romance, Just Kiss Her, for her ARC team, and the audiobook of London Ever After is so close, she can taste it. Plus, Spurs are on their way to Wembley! This week, the pair answer your questions, including: three things they've learned doing the podcast; their favorite moment of the past five years (it includes nipples); their writing joys; what their writing superpower would be; and what they're going to miss the most.

Programming note: TB and Clare make a major LWW announcement right before getting to the episode’s topic. In fantastic news, TB and Miranda’s latest book is with the editor. What a relief! They’re already plotting the next story and TB loves the shiny and new stage before getting words on the page. In surprising news, TB’s in a fantastic mood, despite being exhausted, but for an exciting reason. Big announcement, folks! Clare’s upcoming book is titled Just Kiss Her. On the flip side, Clare's experience with setting up her Shopify store has been anything but smooth sailing. It seems she's been encountering quite a few frustrations, possibly leading to some colorful language. Before getting to the topic, they rank their top 5 books in their series (Lizzie for TB and London for Clare). They crash on to the topic: how to write the perfect book. Have they kept a secret magic formula hidden throughout five years of this podcast? Regrettably not. However, they do offer valuable advice on crafting the best book possible. Tune in for some golden insights you won't want to overlook. Please send in your comments and questions for the duo to discuss on the next episode.

TB and Miranda are chugging away on their book and they’re getting close to the end. TB’s remembering how hard it is to end a story. Also, TB has frustrating Amazon news and a wonderful tax announcement, which is a weird and rare thing to say. Lastly, TB is so over winter, and she just wants to be warm. Clare’s newest book is with the editor. Toot toot! She’s been keeping busy with admin tasks, the unsexy but vital aspects about being an indie author. Sadly, she’s also had to deal with the translation pirates. Clare’s going to be on a panel at the Self Publishing Show in London this June. So exciting! They crash on to the topic: future publishing predictions. While the duo doesn’t have a crystal ball, they’ve been in the business long enough to see some trends. Have a listen to hear their predictions and not surprisingly, TB brings the dark while Clare supplies rays of sunshine. What predictions do you have?
