Is Release Week the Best Week for an Author… or the Worst?

May 7, 2026 · 1 h 7 min

Show notes

It’s YOUNG WORLD release week!! Soman and Victoria discuss the glories and stress of putting out a new book and surviving the first 7 days. Also they talk about writing characters with different identities than themselves and whether or not writing groups are dead. Victoria is disaster planning for potential flight issues on her tour, and Soman hopes YOUNG WORLD will kick off debate-offs IRL.
