Summary

For this week’s episode of Working Overtime, hosts June Thomas and Isaac Butler speak with Jaime Green, author of The Possibility of Life, about her experiences publishing her first book. Whether it's the repetitive promotional interviews or the countless rounds of revisions, the process of publishing a book can be surreal and exhausting. Luckily, as Green recounts, the support of a creative community and praise from strangers can make it all worthwhile. Do you have a question about creative work?

feel like with that analogy though, you're saying that working overtime is far

0:53.8

superior to working. It does seem that way, doesn't it? I'm sure they both have

fans. I just don't know any of those Hercules fans, but I'm sure they're out there.

Well, Kevin Sorbo probably watches it by himself, you know, with all of his

mega gear. Anyway, what are we talking about today, June? And enough about

first book The Possibility of Life was published on April 18th about a month

1:25.3

before we're recording this episode. And in the newsletter, Jamie shared her

1:30.5

feelings about the immediate post publication period. And it struck me as a

1:34.9

topic that doesn't get talked about much. And since we both know Jamie, you two

1:39.3

have been friends for a long time. I know Isaac, I thought we should invite her on
