The Book That Told Him It Wanted to Be Published

About This Episode of Book Crew 1. If you’re listening to us on a podcast directory, please leave a review 2. If we’re not on your favorite podcast, please let us know Our Feature Interview Meet Bill Hulseman, the writer, ritual designer, and former educator who is challenging what it means to belong. In his deeply reflective debut book, “six to carry the casket and one to say the mass,” Hulseman explores queer identity, Catholicism, family, and personal agency with unflinching honesty. Questions 1. Tell us how you went from being an educator to doing what you call ritual design, and also please explain that term. 2. Why did you write “six to carry the casket and one to say the mass” now? 3. Who did you write the book for? 4. What do you hope that readers take away from reading the book? 5. Is this the first book you’ve written? 6. What was your process for writing the book? 7. How are sales and what have you done to push the book? 8. You have two storefronts selling your book that I was not familiar with, Allstora and Pathway Book Service, can you tell us about those two platforms and if they have helped get you out a wider audience? 9. What would be your advice for others who want to write a non-fiction book? 10. Do you have other books in you? 11. What’s next for you? Is there anything else you’d like to cover? https://www.billhulseman.com/ Beth Anne Freely https://bethannefreely.com/ Dirk Hooper https://www.writeworks.dirkhooper.com/ Book Crew, hosted by indie authors Beth A.
