Well, you’ve made it! Thank you so much for joining us on this podclass - 12 weeks to take you right through from developing ideas to creating compelling characters and now, how to get your book into the hands of the reading public. This week, our hosts Sara Collins, Sharmaine Lovegrove and Nelle Andrew continue their chat about how to get published and how to navigate the publishing industry. Publishing is a daunting experience for a seasoned writer, let alone a debut author. But - don’t worry - we’ve got you covered. From what our literary agent, author and publishing expert wish they knew about the publishing process before they started, to managing expectations, and what makes it all worthwhile in the end. We hope you find this discussion a heartening listen that emboldens you to take the enormously brave step into the world of publishing. Together, Sara, Sharmaine and Nelle are your on-hand writing community giving you the push you need to get started on that novel, memoir, or piece of non fiction you've always dreamed of writing. And, as ever, Elizabeth is on hand at the end to offer her final reflections. Executive produced by Elizabeth Day for Daylight Productions and Carly Maile for Sony Music Entertainment.
