Listen Later

Welcome to another LEGENDARY episode! Our Legendaries are special guests that are an expert within their area of storytelling. Emily Rath is a romance and fantasy author of THE SECOND SONS DUET, WHISKEY AND SIN, and the forthcoming ALCOTT HALL (Winter 2023). She is repped by Susan Valazquez at JABberwocky. A university professor by day, Emily lives in Florida with her husband, son, and cat. They regularly comb the local beaches looking for shark teeth.

In this episode you'll hear about:

  • Insight into how to decide if hybrid publishing is right for you.
  • Considerations indie authors can bear in mind when looking for an agent.
  • Following the joy.
  • One of us may or may not sing some T Swift and Harry Styles numbers.
  • Giving yourself grace.
  • Writing to market and writing to holes in the market.
  • Navigating the landscape of how much of ourselves we share as storytellers.
  • Courtney's reference to juggling many balls and hopefully only dropping the plastic ones. 
  • An exclusive peek into Emily's new monster romance book.

    • Special thanks to Deore for our musical number. You can find her on Instagram or more of her creative work on Spotify. As ever, thank you dear listeners. Please consider leaving a review to support this podcast.
