On this episode of Debut Discussions we're chatting with Charlee Dyroff about her debut, Loneliness & Company, a story set in a near future New York that follows a quirky young woman who gets involved in a secret government project to build an AI to befriend lonely people.
Charlee shares her journey from being an avid reader to pursuing writing as a passion and then writing a novel “on the side”, which ultimately became her debut!  We discuss her protagonist Lee and her need for external validation, the blurred lines between human connection and technology, how taking risks and embracing failure can lead to greater success, and the process she went through to find the agent and editor of her dreams. 
Listen now to Charlee’s story wherever you get your podcasts. Loneliness & Company is out now -- buy it, read it, and share it (in other words, make a debut author’s dreams come true!).
