On Monday, we embark on the question of "Why Women Bully Each Other?" The Atlantic article (link) focuses on women at work. As a female author, the world is our workplace. The Facebook conversation ranged from people who felt like they were never bullied to those who have had trouble with bullying. What's your take? Why do Women bully each other?

On Wednesday, we share a link that discusses pseudonyms. The question of pseudonyms comes up in almost every interview for Women and Fiction. Jenny Fallover shares a list of her favorite books written by women using male pseudonyms. Have you thought of using a male pseudonym?

Every author asks the question: should I go with a large publisher? Something smaller? Self-publish? There is another side to this. Every day, best-selling authors ditch their publishers for life as an independent. There are romance authors who have made millions from it.

Thanks for subscribing. We'll have a new podcast next week!
