Ready to dive into the world of authoring and the importance of reviews? Brace yourselves as we navigate the convoluted process, the struggles, and the tactics to prompt your readers to articulate their thoughts about your book. With our special guest, acclaimed author Sol Regwan, we promise you an enlightening journey as he unravels his own experiences and strategies to coax his readers into leaving reviews.

The journey gets even more riveting as we explore Sol's heart-stirring Gizmo Girl series, with special emphasis on the third book, Geraldine and the Anti-Bullying Shield. Saul opens up about the real-life stories of bullying that inspired him, the vital role of self-discipline and self-defense, and how STEAM topics can enhance children's identity exploration. We do not shy away from the sensitive topic of the Holocaust, the challenge of explaining it to children, and the delicate balance between education and relatability.

Fasten your seatbelts as we venture into the complex terrains of traditional, self, and hybrid publishing, and explore the business aspect of writing. Sol generously shares his insights on writing for children, making a book saleable and sparking meaningful conversations through his works. As we wrap up season two, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to Sol, and invite you to embark on another exciting season with us in 2024. Buckle up for an insightful, inspirational, and thrilling ride through the world of authorship!
