Hey friends, thanks for tuning in to Tory Dealing with where each episode is short, sweet,

and the perfect thing to enjoy in the morning just like your coffee.

And I'm sorry this episode came out a little late, but I promise it'll be worth it.

In honor of the SoulSpill, my new poetry book I wanted to use this episode to talk about

the ins and outs of being in business with your bestie.

As many of you may know, Vera, the illustrator and editor of the SoulSpill, has been a dear

friend of mine for over a decade.

This episode is great to listen to if you're interested in collaboration advice, business

strategy, and how to maintain a healthy business relationship with your friend.

Before we get into this episode, here's a little reminder that this week is the last

week to pre-order the SoulSpill.

When you buy a pre-order, you get a special invitation to a virtual reading of the book,

as well as become a first priority customer to be sure that you'll receive the book in

the first batch of shipments.

Also, it's really important to support independent authors during pre-sale because we can use

those numbers from pre-sale eventually if we want to go to a publishing company, try

to get a book deal.

So it means the world to support right now.

And we really look forward to hearing what you think about the book.

For right now, sit back, relax, grab a cup of coffee, and enjoy this episode with Vera.

I am so excited for my guest today.

You may know her as Bumblepiece Mother.
