Joan F. Smith
The Darling Killers Podcast
The Darling Killers Podcast is hosted by Joan F. Smith, Laura Taylor Namey, and Allison L. Bitz, three traditionally-published authors who met online and have maintained a daily DM for over eight years. Between them, this group of critique partners has fourteen book deals (and counting). Joan, Laura, and Allison talk the real-life realities of being working authors, highlighting everything from how to write a novel to navigating the publishing industry and everything in between, like gut-checking each other on what not to post online, persevering in this career, and how to roll with the painful moments. Join us in our DM.
