Hello my authors! It’s one thing to tell you what to do to publish and promote your book, it’s another thing to hear from an author in the trenches going through what authors go through to write, to pitch their book to an agent, to promote their book and to navigate the business of being an author.

Author of Still, Geraldine Donaher, chats about her upcoming FREE workshop on Story Structure where she introduces a practical plan for authors to make sure they have the important elements for their books. We talk about the journey of an author navigating the world of agents. writers workshops, pitching, promoting and the business of being an author in today’s world.

Geri is working on finding an agent for her latest book, Mouth Shut, Head Down, a YA Thriller and shares her process of finding an agent. She also chats about what she learned since writing her first novel, Still - a fiction book that loosely follows her life as a former nun and coping with the loss of a baby. Plus, she shares the benefits of joining writing groups - what works and what does not work. In all, being an author is a process that evolves with the more information your learn, staying open, and getting more confident. You’ll see what you mean as you listen to the podcast.
