Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How to Write a Book | 12. PUBLISHING (Part 2)
Q: What do you think authors should know and what can they take away from this?
Authors should be clear about their objectives for writing and maintain a strong sense of self to prevent disappointment in the publishing process.
How to Write a Book | 9. GENRE
Q: If an author who had been successful in what we would consider commercial fiction wants to start publishing romance, do you think it's more difficult for them to do that?
Authors may have to navigate brand expectations set by publishers and readers, which can make switching genres challenging, especially in the commercial space.
How to Write a Book | 10. AN INTERVIEW WITH ELIZABETH DAY
Q: Do you think you're more exposed writing novels than writing non-fiction, or do you think it's the other way around?
I feel more exposed when I'm writing fiction, but the way that books are received, I feel more exposed when non-fiction is published.
How to Write a Book | 10. AN INTERVIEW WITH ELIZABETH DAY
Q: What would you say to yourself back then? What would you say to any listener right now who's like, what should I look for in an agent-author relationship?
Find someone who can look into your future and see something that you can't yet, who believes in you even when you don't believe in yourself, who can carry that load for you.
How to Write a Book | 4. VOICE (Part 2)
Q: What makes it not work?
Conviction and having something engaging are crucial; if readers feel resistance or ask 'why bother', it indicates a lack of resonance in the voice.
