About this episode
This week, we're talking about rejection, failure, and how two guests dealt with them! First, we're talking to New York Times best-selling author Andrea Bartz about navigating rejection on submission, and the daily rejections entailed in living a creative life. Then, we're talking to Azora Zoe Paknad about shuttering her business and going back to the corporate world. You can read more from Andrea in her newsletter, Get It Write, and her books The Spare Room , We Were Never Here, The Herd , and The Lost Night . Her latest novel, The Last Ferry Out , is out May 20.
