About the EP
ORIGINAL BROADCAST: 8th October 2021
Date with a Debut is taking an extended break before our new season, but to bridge the gap, listeners have been asking for more details on publishing and where to get started.
So, over February and March 2026, I’ll be reuploading my podcast miniseries, A Little Idea, which delves into the entire process I went through with my debut novel, When Men Cry. Enjoy!
