EPISODE INFO:
The art methodically rising tension is a tricky one...because there really isn’t a hard and fast rule. 

However, while talking to our guest today, I learned so much about how to incrementally increase tension over the course of a novel. 

Plus, we cover some major misconceptions about the publishing business. 

We’re busting myths out here so come along for the ride.
