*It’s been a couple of weeks since you last heard from me, so I’ve decided to release this episode from behind the paywall.
In this episode of The Writer’s Verdict, I’m diving into the world of celebrity book deals and yes, I’ve got thoughts.

I’d love to hear your take. Leave a comment or drop me a message.
