Why I Am Sharing My Fiction for Free (and Maybe Shouldn't Be)

Stop Writing Alone

Last week Nicole Rivera began sharing her YA novel, GIRL, UNPLUGGED, on her Story Hoarder Substack page. For Free. In this episode she discusses why she has made the decision to share her fiction for free in this way right now and what types of things writers must think about before making such a decision.

Nicole also discussed the newly opened Stop Writing Alone Network and the Happy Campers Club Spring 2022 session coming up.
