In today's episode of the Thriving Authors Podcast, I spoke with bestselling Canadian writing duo Karma Brown and Marissa Stapley who write under the pen name Maggie Knox. I just devoured and loved their latest novel All I Want for Christmas, so it was a real treat to talk with them for this very special holiday episode of the Thriving Authors podcast. I know you'll come away with so much inspiration from what they share about writing, both individually and also collaboratively creating these novels. We chatted about: How they fell in love with writing and got started as authors. What happened after they told their women's writing group about their idea to write a book together. The process of shifting from writing books solo to developing a working relationship and drafting a book together. How they're able to develop such dynamic characters and were able to bring the setting to life, even though neither had ever been to that city before. Karma and Marissa also share some great advice when it comes to knowing when it's time to walk away and start something fresh. Enjoy the episode!
