Spring is here and summer is just around the corner! If you’re looking for a good beach read, Allison Winn Scotch’s new book “Take Two, Birdie Maxwell” may be the one! Our host Whitney Clark got to talk to Allison about how Julia Roberts inspired the main character, Birdie. Allison is a fan of 90’s romcoms and wanted to create the same types of love stories in her books. She’s also a big fan of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce and weighs in on why she thinks so many are rooting for (and sometimes against) the couple. Allison regularly gives shout outs to other female authors and shares why that is so important in the publishing world.
