#68 - Jendella Benson

Contemporary fiction author and head of editorial at Black Ballad, Jendella Benson is in this week's episode telling us all about her long journey with storytelling, social journalism and photography, and how it all led to the publication of her debut novel, 'Hope and Glory'. She shares the story of how she signed with her agent, Juliet Pickering, the push back she gave on the cover for the novel and the wonderful, if at times challenging, experience of publishing a novel.
