Let’s Talk About Writing, Publishing, and Coaching

 

I was interviewed on the Lead Stories Podcast with Jo Saxton and Steph O’Brien. Listen in, if you’re interested! (It’s about 45 minutes.)

We talked about:

  • What I look for in someone I might represent as an agent
  • What coaching looks like and why it is worth it
  • How I redirect people who aren’t ready for publishing yet
  • Whether I think everyone has a book in them
  • What I think the best social media platform is
  • Current hot topics in Western culture

Some questions for writers to ask themselves:

1) Am I writing for myself or am I writing for a reader?

2) Can I identify who my reader is and why they would want to read this?

3) Have I worked hard to become a strong writer? (Am I getting feedback, improving my craft, reading books in my genre etc.?)

4) What are my personal forms of resistance when it comes to writing? (Write a list and watch out for them!)
