“With your very first book, it wasn’t totally you. It was a version of you. It was not inauthentic in the sense that it was false, but it wasn’t really a whole picture. And then you also have to consider, are you gonna sustain that author voice across all books? We didn’t have the conversation until you told me I’ve got 25 books in me. And then I was like, okay. Whoa. We have to really think about how are you going to show up consistently over all of those books.”
