How to Write a Novel That Actually Gets Published

from Write to the Point Hosted by Tony Manganaro

In this conversation, first-time novelist Jennifer Mandula gets frank about the joys and challenges – the adventure, really – of not just writing but selling a novel. She and Tony (an aspiring novelist himself) debate everything from hosting Feedback Dinner Parties to mapping outlines to using elementary technology to type, and much more! Bottom line: writing is one thing; finding a massive audience through navigating the "book business" is another. Mandula's fantasy novel, The Geomagician, can be ordered here.
