Would you like insight into the picture book publication process from a publisher? If so, you’re in the right place. Sandra Sutter from Gnome Road Publishing joined me for chapter fifty-seven of the show for a fabulous conversation. Whether you write picture books or not, Sandra and I talked about things that apply to all authors, like critique partners, comp titles, industry connections, and more. I truly had a blast chatting with Sandra, so I hope you love listening to our conversation and take away valuable advice.

Thanks for stopping by the kindness corner. My friend, Danielle Render Turmaud, returned to the show for chapter fifty-six to cover kindness. We had such a wonderful conversation about showing ourselves and others kindness while chasing our writing dreams, then the chapter wrapped up with the most unhinged plot twist so far. From our vulnerable conversation to lots of laughs, I hope this chapter makes you smile and feel less alone on your journey.

Have you ever considered running a Kickstarter campaign for your literary project? If so, you’re in luck because Marx Pyle joined me for chapter fifty-five to chat all about Kickstarter campaigns for books. During our conversation, we talked about the benefits of running a Kickstarter campaign, suggestions for rewards, golden tips to set campaigns up for success, and so much more. I learned a ton from Marx, so I hope you find our chat both insightful and entertaining.
