Pam and Kel are both writing again so they thought it was time for a W4W mentoring session. 

After almost a year off writing Kel has decided to go back to her fiction novel and start from scratch. This time she joined a writing group and engaged a writing mentor as a support system but the first session was not at all what she expected. 

Meanwhile Pam has paused her novel to edit and remaster a book of old that she recently got the rights back for. Pam talks all about the rights return process and what it's like to be re-releasing her 2nd book, 7 years on.

There are some important considerations for authors in this chat that people might find helpful, especially when it comes to publishing contracts and rights.
