We’ll help you skip the mistakes, laugh through the chaos, and build the writing career you actually want without the smoke and mirrors. New episodes every week.

Buckle up, writers! In this episode of Pros Talking Prose, Stacey Smekofske (Edits by Stacey) and Troy Lambert the Plot Dude spill the literary tea on the worst advice authors keep hearing—and believing. From publishing myths to marketing mayhem and writing rules gone rogue, we’re calling out the cringe, so you don’t have to learn the hard way. 🙈
Do you think:
– “Your book will sell itself!”
– “You don’t need an editor!”
– “Write every day or else!”
Yeah… no.
Whether you're indie, trad, or somewhere in between, this episode is your official permission slip to laugh, learn, and let go of the nonsense.
