Have Publishing Questions?
On Sunday, I’ll be interviewing Jackie Lea Sommers (Truest, 2015) about the time period between agent contract and submitting the second book to publishers. Do you have any questions you’d like me to ask? Comment below, tweet me @LaraEdits, or email lara @ storycadet.com.
The interview will be posted on YouTube and here on the blog on Wednesday at 9pm EDT.
If you have additional questions, you’ll be able to ask them in the comments of next week’s post or on the YouTube video—both will be open to the public.
