Manage episode 277603484 series 2824241
Craig and Irma chat about why they’ve launched the podcast, the history of the green room and their own green room experiences.
Then Anna Spargo-Ryan chats with Irma about how she grew up with her own publishing house (sort of!), the manuscripts that never made it to publication, how she accidentally pitched a book on Twitter that led to a heated auction, what said heated auction involved (hint: a lot of emotional paralysis on the couch), the worst rejection of her writing life and a whole lot more.
