This is fascinating. Thank you. The journey from idea to publication is dimly understood and you are shining a light on it. Good luck the rest of the way.

I'm so glad it was helpful, and thank you for the kind words!! I have an entire series on how this all came about, precisely to shine a light, here -- https://hannakozlowska.substack.com/s/on-selling-the-book/archive?sort=new

I’m more interested in nonfiction but there is a podcast called The Publishing Rodeo about debut authors. It’s about fiction writers mostly in the fantasy and speculative fiction markets and they interview a ton of authors and even an agent. I will check your series out. Thanks!

It's in many ways different for nonfiction, which is why I wanted to write this newsletter. Most of the resources I could find when I was starting out were for fiction.

Thank you for sharing your experience! It is interesting how it works. I never was thinking about the process of writing a book. I just love to read books. Now, I am starting to think about my favorite authors and how they are going through the writing and publishing process. Thank you!
