Today, we get straight down to business. Whiskey business! More specifically, Whiskey Tit business!!
Another whiskey aficionado joins us drunken boobs to discuss whiskey, books, the publishing industry, and tits. That's right! Miette Gillette from Whiskey Tit brings her unique perspective of the book publishing industry (as a publisher herself) and graces us with some insider knowledge. We talk about the origin of Whiskey Tit (and how it got its name), the cultural need for experimental literature, the importance of cover letters in the submission process, what role AI plays in the publishing industry, and many more interesting topics.
For some truly great and possibly outlandish literature, be sure to check out Whiskey Tit.

We start the episode with some harmless Dragon Ball talk. After that, we continue the civil conversation with a fresh look at our writing habits: We discuss the importance of setting, hooking the reader early, establishing characters, and creating atmosphere.
Once we exhaust the civil conversation, we get into the meat and potatoes of the stew and discuss inclusive language in writing. This includes a list of words you used to be able to say but are now considered outdated and what you should use instead. This of course digresses into our opinions of inclusive language. And boy howdy do we give our opinions!
