What is the publishing process for a manuscript?

Welcome to the very first episode of the RomaReads Publishing Podcast! In this episode, I talk a little about my book, 'Teacher's Pet', and how it planted the idea in my head to start a publishing company. I'll also talk you through what actually happens to a manuscript during the traditional publishing process, with some suggestions for marketing your book for those going down the self-publishing route. I'll discuss some of the struggles I encountered when figuring out how to set up a publishing company, how unsafe the writing and publishing industry is and can be, how gatekept writing and publishing information is, and I'll explain that this is why I started this podcast up. Speaking, supporting, and learning from one another is one of the only ways we will be able to make this industry a safer place.
