Turning Readers Into Writers

126 - Publishing Two Books Within a Year, with Susan Dennis


Listen Later

In this episode:

Susan Dennis published her first two books at 67 years old, exemplifying why you are never too old to write.

Susan compiled her book by writing snippets on the backs of utility envelopes or supermarket receipts. She pulled those little pieces together as and when she had time and would settle down to write when she had something tangible to put together, showing you don’t have to spend hours on a keyboard to write a novel.

Key to Susan’s success was giving herself the permission to write the novel, trusting her inner voice and her discernment, which not enough new writers manage.

From there she sought help from editors and readers, which led to an agent and then to the publisher, Atmosphere Press.

At its heart, Susan Dennis’ memoir is a love story. The love that grew between Susan and her husband, the now deceased photographer, Charles Dennis. It’s also a love story between one man and a creative passion.

This is a must listen if you are writing a memoir and are curious about how you can find a publisher.
