“You Have to REALLY Want It” and Navigating the Traditional Publishing Industry With Natasha Roy

Natasha Roy is a writer who is working towards becoming a published author. She is currently navigating the publishing field and writes mainly young adult fantasy. She has spent 10 years on her latest project.

On this episode, Natasha talks about her experience bringing her book to life, navigating the publishing industry, pitching her book, pitching agents. The whole gambit.

To those of you who are interested, the Publishing industry quite is massive – according to Business Wire, in the United States, there are over 2600 publishing houses generating over 25 Billion dollars in annual revenue. It’s quite competitive. Natasha also shares her take on what’s happening in the industry right now, Gen Z culture and their influence with regards to the types of books that they want to read.

I am so proud of how my best friend has invested in her growth and development. And also, how she has said yes to going all in on her dream.

This episode is for you if:

You experience self-doubt with your own creative process
You are thinking about pursuing your writing career, but don’t know where to start
You are curious about the traditional publishing industry and want to know what it’s like to navigate the early stages in 2021
