On our eighth episode of The Deep List we interview Hope Engel about her debut novel, AT YOUR PACE, which was released in May this year.

Amrita’s Notes: Hope talks about writing a romance novel just from the single POV of the male protagonist, navigating relationships that root out of religious trauma, keeping the narrative grounded in realism, writing with mental health representation in mind, her writing and drafting practices, and going from querying to self publishing.
