Hello, Protagonists!
My guest today on CREATIVE. INSPIRED. HAPPY is Margarita Montimore, bestselling author of Oona Out of Order, which was a Good Morning America book club pick. Her latest novel, The Dollhouse Academy, is out now!
Today, we talk about:
pep talks for yourself to get through the ups and downs of publishing
how many rejections she weathered before landing a book deal
dealing with professional jealousy of other writers (especially if they are friends!)
writing tricky narrative structures (like multiple POVs or timelines)
and so much more.
I hope you enjoy the show!
