Stories from publishing my 1st book In the end stages of publishing a book, all authors and publishers must do quote approvals. This means you have to get direct, written permission to use any quotes in your manuscript. It ended up being a really fun + interesting part of publishing my book! It resulted in me getting thoughtful emails from Stephen King, Susanna Kaysen (author of Girl, Interrupted), Carsie Blanton, among others. This process and the emails I got contained messages I think you''ll find INSPIRING & thought-provoking.
In this episode I share the stories about how all this went down & the wise words shared by King & Kaysen that could change the way you look at creating art or showing up in your life today.
