Hello, Protagonists!
My guests today are Sara Raasch and Beth Revis, both New York Times bestselling authors and co-authors of the YA fantasy duology, Night of the Witch and The Fate of Magic.
Today we talk about:
the process of writing a book together, from ideation to revision
diversifying your writing career, including publishing traditionally and through self-publishing at the same time
tips for what works on social media, as well as what not to expect from it
what to do if you hate the book cover your publisher gave you, and so much more.
It was such a pleasure to hang out with Sara and Beth because we've been friends for a long time and "grew up” together in this industry. So be forewarned that we laugh a lot in this episode.
I hope you enjoy the show!
