336: Jill Amber Chafin - Author of Shaken
Our podcast guest this week is Jill Amber Chafin (Shaken, Vine Leaves Press, March 2025). Hear how the inspiration for Jill's debut occurred in a doctor's office, how writing a book about a controversial (and dark) subject matter hurt her when looking for an agent, and how she eventually found her publisher through a Twitter post that went viral. And we spend time talking about how Jill found her critique group, how she used them throughout her writing process, and how important it is to get other's eyes on your work before querying.
