The call came out of the blue. Lorilee Craker's book agent knew the business manager of Lynne Spears, mother of pop star Brittney Spears. A few hours together in Nashville sealed the deal, and Lorilee became the co-author of a New York Times bestseller. Writing success, like any kind of success, doesn't happen without the grind, the years of discipline. Lorilee has devoted her life to writing. Since her book with Lynne Spears in 2008, she has published three other books and is now working on another. In this episode, Melissa and Dave interview Lorilee about some of the most misunderstand aspects of publishing, such as finding book agents and BISAC codes.
