Nora loves giving advice, especially when the questions are really easy and really low stakes.

Book recs mentioned in this episode include Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott and On Writing by Stephen King. Another one Nora loves is Before and After the Book Deal by Courtney Maum.

In this episode, Esmé Deprez shares her father’s story with us.
