Description

Join author Megan O'Russell in this candid, humor-filled glimpse into the creation of a new book series, starting at page one. You're invited to step into the real-time writing process as Megan weaves fae, shifters, witches, and seers into her latest young adult fantasy novel: Sketchbook of a Wayward Seer. No second drafts allowed. No untwisting love triangles. No bringing characters back to life. meganorussell.substack.com
