Write the Damn Book Already
Writing and publishing a phenomenal book doesn’t have to be ridiculously complicated or mind-numbingly overwhelming. From myths and misconceptions to practical tips and sound strategies, Elizabeth Lyons (author, book writing coach, book editor, and founder of Finn-Phyllis Press), helps writers feel more in control of and comfortable with the business of book publishing. Her interviews with fellow authors discussing their writing processes and publishing journeys aim to help you untangle YOUR process so you can finally get your story into the world.

Elle Evans is an anesthesiologist and a novelist whose debut novel, Wedding Issues, comes out April 2, 2024 with Zibby Books. And was this ever a fascinating conversation!
EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS
- The first book Elle wrote (that was never officially published, even with the best title ever)
- Elle's writing process, including how she sets goals and deadlines
- The probable stop on the publishing journey she specifically advises writers to “buckle up” for
- How her first two novels ended up "dead on submission" (and what she's planning for them now!)
- How she's coordinating book launch activities with her operating room schedule
- Her process for letting go of one book’s characters in order to start fresh on another
- Her unique perspective when it comes to title/cover changes by a publisher
ABOUT ELLE
A Boston native, Elle Evans spent five years in Nashville soaking up sweet Southern hospitality and even sweet iced tea. She now lives in Philadelphia with her husband and rescue dog Calypso, the first of many pets named from Greek mythology characters. Elle enjoys hiking, rock climbing, and attempting ambitious cocktail recipes. She writes under a not-so-secret pseudonym to maintain separation from her academic research papers and professional life.
