32 - Chicken House Press

Back in 2016, Alanna Rusnak stumbled upon a big problem in the book world: small-town writers, like Alanna, were having a tough time getting their stories and work out there. So, what did she do? She decided to tackle the challenge head-on and started her own little publishing company called Chicken House Press. At first, Chicken House Press was all about getting Alanna's own book out into the world. And it worked! Her novel went on to become a Canadian bestseller, a finalist for the Kobo Emerging Writer Award, and named one of the top reader-recommended books of 2017 by CBCBooks.ca! And Alanna didn't stop there, she turned Chicken House Press into a full-blown publishing powerhouse, helping writers from all corners of the globe share their tales with the world. In our chat, Alanna shares everything you need to know about getting your book published. And our talk was so inspiring, she's all about motivating you to start putting those words down on paper, no matter where you're from or what kind of story you want to tell. So, if you've ever dreamed about writing something – whether it's a novel, an essay, or even just a blog post – this episode is your go-to guide for getting started.
