Combating Query Fatigue & A Bookseller Gives You Comps

In today's Bonus Episode, Bianca chats with Carley Fortune, author of Every Summer After,  about setting a book in Canada; her journey to publication; the importance of reaching out to fellow authors for beta reads and critiques; structuring a dual timeline; upping the stakes and tension when you allude to a secret so readers don’t get bored waiting for the big reveal; and making writing a part of your daily routine.

After which Bianca chats with Roz Nay, author of The Hunted, about Roz’s new writing school for kids and adults; finding writers who’s work you really admire and who you feel that their work will elevate your own; how to establish voices-ness; how to know when you’ve got the story and characters right; and where to glean ideas for the next book.

Finally, Emilie from East City Bookshop joins us to give you comp titles!
