Following Kathleen's segment with NY Times bestselling author William Bernhardt, Adanna Moriarty, our producer, takes up the host mantel jumping into the conversation. Adanna and William get into process, how to create a dedicated practice, and what William thinks helps aspiring authors be successful. Writing is hard, and getting to pick a successful author's brain, let alone one who has been writing as a career for thirty years, is a happy place for Adanna.

The pair also discuss pitching a series vs. a stand-alone book to the bigger publishing houses and what they look for when a new author comes to them.

William is very supportive of aspiring authors, and you can feel that through this after-hours conversation. Join us for both segments and get to know William before he joins us as a speaker and workshop leader at the 805 Writers Conference.

We’d like to hear from you. If you have topics or speakers you’d like us to interview, please email us at [email protected] and join the conversation in the comments on our Instagram @writerspubsnet.
