        6. #24 - Amy Nielsen on teen motherhood & landing a publishing deal (guest interview w/ Jas Rawlinson)

          Today, Jas Rawlinson speaks with Amy Nielsen, author of the upcoming debut novel ‘Worth It’ - a true-to-life novel that shares her story of homelessness and teen pregnancy, and how she transformed pain into purpose. Today, Amy is the author of several books (It Takes a Village: How to Build A Support System for your Exceptional Needs Family, and the picture book, Goldilocks and the Three Bears: Understanding Autism Spectrum Disorder ) and is also the founder of Mayflower Media - a company that supports authors to create book trailers that get noticed. 

          In this episode, Amy and Jas speak about: 

          • How Amy landed a traditional publishing deal for her YA novel ‘Worth It’, which is based on her true story of teen homelessness and becoming a mother at just 17 years of age

          • The life-changing conversation Amy had with her daughter before publishing ‘Worth It’ 

          • What authors can learn from Amy’s experience of finding out that her previous publisher had gone bankrupt…and the moment she realised she may have lost her work forever 

          • The importance of always requesting your print files from a publisher 

          • Book trailers, beta readers, and the process of querying to agents/publishers

          • And lots more!

              6. #22 - Speaking out about male sexual abuse w/ Shannon Molloy (best-selling author of 'Fourteen' & 'You Made Me This Way')

                Hey Changemaker,

                On today’s episode of Authors of impact, Jas Rawlinson is joined by award-winning journalist, and best-selling author Shannon Molloy.

                In this chat, Jas and Shannon discuss:

                • Shannon’s personal experiences with bullying, homophobia, and sexual abuse — and how he found the courage to speak out about his story
                • The inspiration behind Shannon’s new release ‘You Made Me This Way’ — which tackles male child sexual abuse — and why it takes the average male survivor 30 years to disclose their abuse
                • The problematic nature of defamation laws, and how Shannon navigated legal challenges in order to tell the stories of male survivors
                • How speaking out impacted his family, husband, and loved ones
                • And how Shannon balanced vulnerability with self-care throughout the writing process
                • This is an incredible conversation and one that you won’t want to miss!

                  You Made Me This Way by Shannon Molloy (HarperCollinsAustralia $34.99) is available from all major book retailers.
