“I’ve been following Hilary for years on Instagram, and I’ve been waiting a year to finally hear her story that she couldn’t tell until May 2023 (Episodes 159-161). Go Listen. Now. It is an incredibly eye-opening tale of what really goes on in the world of publishing, especially for a new author, and it was truly thrilling (in a blood-boiling way) and heart-wrenching to hear her finally tell it. Hilary, if you read this, please know you are INCREDIBLY talented, you are a very gifted story teller, and I am so glad you had the courage and ability to speak up. You took the time to introduce the scenario with grace and poise, you gave way too many people the benefit of the doubt (although I suffer the same all-trusting trait, damnit!!) and that makes episode three SO GOOD. It’s as raw as it should be. My heart was pounding out of my chest and I could feel you shaking through my car speakers. It was chilling. It’s so heartbreaking that you, of all people, went through this. But thank you for sharing your story and shining a light on what is, I am sure, a common occurrence. My guess is that many, many before you have not been able to share openly about how awful it is. It was time, thank you for trusting us as your audience ❤️”
