Episode Synopsis

This week, Sabrina Thatcher sits down with psychological thriller author Courtney Psak to talk about her whirlwind year of publishing — from The Tutor to The Hostess to The Aunt. Courtney shares how a “digital-first” three-book deal with Hodder & Stoughton changed her writing rhythm, why she completely rewrote The Tutor under pressure, and how she builds tension through her signature “W-shaped” plotting method.
