In this episode, she and Matthew dig into the real anxiety writers have about AI accusations, the em dash controversy that made her go viral, what separates ghostwriting from copywriting, and the emotional work of helping someone remember their own life for a memoir. Along the way: Appalachian roots, condiment purism, chocolate snobbery, and a few things you didn't know you needed to know about corn dogs.
