 ✨ The realities of literary agents and publishers
 ✨ Embracing resilience through challenges and setbacks
 ✨ Balancing creativity and business as a hybrid author

Angela also reveals her unique writing process (dictating from the bathtub!), how her library background shaped her storytelling, and why persistence is key to success in the ever-changing world of publishing.
