What inspired you to begin writing? And what makes you keep trying when it’s hard? This week’s Publishing Secrets guest, Rayna Best, found that the process of getting her book finished and published took longer and was more complex than she had anticipated.

Along the way, Rayna has learned some valuable strategies and lessons about what it really takes to get your book published and into the hands of readers. Listen as she shares how persistence and adaptability helped her accomplish her dream.
