3 BIG TAKEAWAYS

There's no 'right' or 'wrong' way to start a creative careerWhy Chantelle decided to start AgoraHow to “Level-Up” your craft

EPISODE INFO:
Last time on the interview series I talked to Emma Dhesi, writer and podcaster. She's been shared some awesome content for writers in our interview so definitely check that out if you haven't already.

Chantelle's business mindset really reminded me of my interview with Bianca Marais. So if you liked that interview, you’re really going to like this one.

Chantelle is the editor of Agora Books. Agora focuses on "socially and culturally unique crime fiction and horror from award-winning publisher Polis Books."

She was named to Publisher's Weekly Rising Star honoree list in 2020. She's been a freelance editor for over 10 years. She is an instructor at the Virginia G. Piper Center for Creative Writing, Authors at Large and LitReactor. She is the author of  The Quick and Dirty Guides To…, which is a non-fiction series on writing that I recommend checking out.

Chantelle hosts Words of Prey podcast through the Pipeline Artists Network.
