Querying: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

Welcome to the inaugural episode of The Writing Therapist!They call it the querying trenches for a reason. In this debut episode , I share a little bit about me and who I am, as a writer and a registered therapist, and how this podcast came to be. Then we jump into querying. There are lots of ups and downs in this part of a writer's journey. In this episode, we explore ways to reframe the process, not only of querying itself, but of publishing in general, to give you more control, more choice, and more hope as you work to get your words into the world.We'll also go through six tips, taken from my counselling work, or from writing advice I've learned while following my own journey, to help you frame querying in a way that can make it feel a little less daunting and stressful. Tune in to find out ways to build your resilience and add some hope to your journey. The less bumps you feel along the way, the more likely you are to stick with it, and to make sure your writing dreams come true.Links shared in this episode:Mel Robbins Episode 39, Feb 8 2023:https://open.spotify.com/episode/6fhhQ9qDbuUzbBxjjMet6UChuck Wendig's "25 Things Writers Should Know About Rejection" https://terribleminds.com/ramble/2011/12/13/25-things-writers-should-know-about-rejection/ Let's Connect:Email: [email protected]: ashlyncramer.comInstagram: @ashlyncramerauthor @thewritingtherapistpodcastKey Words: Writing Podcast, Podcast for Writers, Self-Care for Writers, Coping Strategies for Writers, Querying Trenches, Querying Tips, Publishing Mindset, Writing Tips, Writing Strategies, The Writing Therapist
