Devoted to publishing, publishers and to those who craft the written word

There's no handbook in the world that can prepare you psychologically for the absurd pace of freelance writing. 

A few months ago, I was struggling to balance my day-job and my freelance work, and I stumbled upon Susan Johnston's practical interview with first-time novelist, Min Jin Lee.

Listening to Lee explain how she converted her legal experience day-job into a novel, I realized I needed to check her out.

I finished reading her first book, Free Food for Millionaires last week, and I'm pleased to announce that Min Jin Lee will be our special guest next week, answering questions about outlining novels, writing transitions in your work, and how to stay sane as a writer and mother.

If you can't wait, check out her inspiring Urban Muse interview:

"Rejections hurt. I don’t know how to make them not hurt. But this is what I will say about those of us who still feel the sting of naysayers—vulnerability is a kind of strength for writers."
