For an unpublished author, there's nothing so certain as the goal of being published, so much that it consumes the art. As such, it's a massive shift once that goal first occurs! In this episode, we ask ten Breakwater authors how being published changed their writing process!

This episode is the 49th part of a fifty-episode Write Project sub-series celebrating the fifty-year anniversary of Breakwater Books! Breakwater Books was founded in 1973 to showcase the vibrant literary culture in Newfoundland and Labrador. Since then, we’ve continued our commitment to Newfoundland and Labrador writers while expanding our focus to feature emerging and well-known authors from across Canada and overseas. Breakwater publishes award-winning writing in all literary genres—fiction, non-fiction, poetry, drama, art, young adult and children’s books, as well as cookbooks, guidebooks and educational resources.
