Today, Lori is interviewing Neely Tubati Alexander. They’ll be talking about Love Buzz and the importance of listening to your intuition when crafting a novel.

Neely Tubati Alexander is a first-generation Indian American mother of two. Originally from the Seattle area where Love Buzz, her debut novel, is largely set, she seeks to tell lighthearted, female-driven stories with diverse characters and strong women who pursue both love and careers. If she's not tucked away at the little desk in her bedroom writing, you can find her at some kiddo activity, drinking wine, or watching reality TV, usually the last two together. She lives in sunny Arizona with her family.

You can find her on her website or follow her on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Goodreads.

 

In this episode Neely Tubati Alexander and Lori discuss:
  • Pansing your way through drafts to gain a deeper understanding of your characters.

  • How to tease out secrets and set pacing based on your intuition.

  • Creating a rich cast to support your main character with purpose.

 

Plus, her #1 tip for writers.
