This interview is encouraging and helpful. Iβve completed one novel and queried for over a year and am revising my second. I think I need to finish this one, then take what Iβve learned and re-edit the first. Long process, no guarantees, but in the midst of this Iβve found several wonderful writing communities, written over 50 Substack essays, and gotten short pieces published. Itβs a journey!!
Thank you for today's interview, Alyssa! It's always both heartening and refreshing to see that there are wildly different ways towards getting published and making it as an author. The advice to stay true to oneself really struck a chord in this conversation.
Love this post, Alyssa. This is something I've been realizing more and more recently, so it came at a good time for me. Thanks for sharing these interviews and tips.

Thanks for sharing this interview. She has so much grit!
Right!?
Some truly worthwhile notes here! Publishing is a cruel path. So true. And the NYT bestseller list. π±

Totally agree. So much of publishing is out of your control, so trusting yourself/your process is the only tried and true path forward.

Thanks so much, Jason! Iβm glad it came at the right time for you. π
I worked in publishing for six years and find this book to have a lot of problems. I'm sorry to say this , but featuring it made me think less of you.
