 WRITING LOVE, LOSS & VENICE 

What happens when a bestselling author walks away from publishing—only to return with her biggest book yet? This week on Writes4Women, Pamela chats with Tess Woods about her five-year break from writing, rediscovering her passion, and the inspiration behind The Venice Hotel.

Tess shares the highs and lows of her journey, the real-life Venice stories woven into her novel, and—yes—how George Clooney and a “hot priest” made their way into the book!

For our Substack subscribers, there’s an exclusive bonus chat on writing multiple POVs, navigating tough editorial feedback, and balancing a writing career with real life.
