Welcome back to Alchemy for Authors!
In this episode I talk with New Zealand journalist and debut author, Kelley Tantau, about her new book The Runaway Man and her journey to publication.
Topics we discuss include:
· How a dream led to what will be a three-book series.
· How Kelley deals with feedback and critique, and why developing a thick skin is essential for writers.
· Why hybrid and indie-publishing is as legitimate as traditional publishing.
· How imposter syndrome doesn’t discriminate.
· The challenges of publishing in a small country.
· Why writing a book requires vulnerability and courage!
Enjoy this behind-the-scenes look at the writing and publishing journey of a first-time Kiwi author!
