Welcome to the season finale of Deadline City! For our final episode, we've decided to talk about ideas and trends. We're often asked, "where do you get your ideas from?" Well, here it is. We discuss organic ideas and how they take shape. How trends might not be such a bad thing to write to if you do the work! And how publishing changes ideas for authors.

We're also thrilled to be partnering with Libro.fm for a Deadline City exclusive discount code. Create a new account and you can get **2** audiobooks for the price of one ($14.99).

About our sponsor: Libro.fm makes it possible to purchase audiobooks through your local bookstore of choice. The same way Bookshop.org helps independent bookstores, Libro.fm has a network of 1400+ bookstore partners. They have over 185,000 audiobooks including New York Times bestsellers and hundreds of bookseller recommendations. The best part about Libro.fm? It's DRM-Free so all their audiobooks are free of being digitally managed. Translation: Unlike Audible, with Libro.fm you OWN the digital file, regardless. Read more here.

To claim your two for one audiobooks:

Your code can be entered at checkout: DeadlineCity26
It can also be redeemed by clicking on your link with the code embedded: libro.fm/redeem/DeadlineCity26

Thank you for listening in this season. We wouldn't be able to this without you. If you're part of our Patreon, the monthly live streams will still be happening! After our summer break we'll be back for the fall with more conversations, more publishing deep dives, and more shenanigans.

Write on,
Zoraida + Dhonielle
