How did you find your way to Trident Media Group and then go on to get published?Įxploring traditional publishing hadn’t really been on my radar until I got your email, Mark. Send tacos and alcohol!Īny good books on your nightstand at the moment?Īlways! On my nightstand currently are The Hill We Climb by Amanda Gorman, Legacy by Nora Roberts, Atomic Habits by James Clear, Out of the Blue by Kathryn Nolan, and Reel by Kennedy Ryan. She’s very knowledgeable, patient, and obviously has incredible taste! That being said, I haven’t seen my first round of edits yet, so you may find me curled in the fetal position under my desk once those roll in. What has it been like in working with Alex Logan and the team at Hachette Books in publishing your forthcoming novel?Īlex has been great to work with. Not gonna lie, I’m probably going to embarrass myself the first time I see my book on a shelf in a store! I’m thrilled that what I’ve been doing on my own is good enough to catch the eye of the Big Five. But I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to experiment with traditional publishing to see if it can introduce me to a new audience.
You’ll have to ask me that once my first traditional book comes out! I’m wildly proud of what I’ve been able to accomplish as a successful indie author. Has the journey from self-publishing to publishing with a major trade big five publisher felt gratifying? Do you feel there are benefits in moving toward traditional publishing? I repeat that until I hit my daily word count goal or my quitting time. I’m not allowed to do anything but write for those twenty-five minutes…unless the house catches fire.
I barricade myself in my office, break out the noise canceling headphones, cue up my writing playlist, and set a timer for twenty-five minutes. I have a strict routine to help me put words on the page.
What is your creative process like? Any special rituals, habits or practices? “I’m not allowed to do anything but write for those twenty-five minutes…unless the house catches fire.”
