Looking Forward to Reading ‘Mathey Girls’

Thanks for this interview! I will definitely read the book and share a review.

My interest was piqued because I just self-published a comedic women’s fiction novella, Unemployable, but Ms. Chu’s interview wound up even more interesting to me because I have two close connections who’ve lost someone during childbirth due to amniotic embolisms — in the first case, both mother and child died; in the second, the mom died and child survived. In these modern times, crazy that this occurs.

Additionally, I just this morning listened to a writer’s podcast about imposter syndrome, which I’ve realized since self-publishing is something from which I suffer! As a Princeton first-year, I wrote a paper about “fear of success,” and I do think the two are closely related.

I look forward to seeing how Ms. Chu weaves both of these into her work — congratulations!
