About this episode

Anika Goyal interviews Sarah Militante about building a creative life amidst uncertainty and the realities of querying a debut book.

In this episode, I’m joined by teacher and future NYT-bestselling author (manifesting respectfully), Sarah Militante , for a conversation about building a creative life while embracing uncertainty. We talk about the realities of querying a debut book, navigating career pivots, staying open to unexpected paths, and learning that change doesn’t always mean starting over. Mrs M also shares what it looks like to pursue big creative goals while still living in the middle of the story. If you’ve ever felt behind, in-between, or unsure of your next chapter, this one’s for you. ✍️📚 Stay tuned for new episodes every week!
