Ep 173: Publishing Hot Takes with Jordan Roter
The woman. The myth. The legend: Jordan Roter.
She's a TV writer, screenwriter, author, and one of the funniest and most genuine people I know. I truly could talk to her for days (and I'd like to, as it would preclude the need any sort of formal abdominal workout).
Her novel, Moms Like Us (2025, Little A), was recently optioned for the screen, and she's back to give her hot takes on:
- Midlife transitions (welcome, all my fellow perimenopause travelers!)
- Self-publishing versus traditional publishing
- The currently hot TV shows I was previously afraid to watch (Heated Rivalry, Off Campus, and Euphoria)
- Navigating publicity and marketing as an author
- The importance of remembering that you only need 1 "yes"
