Thank you for writing this. As someone who’s emerging from the other side of several rejections after over a year of writing a cookbook proposal, this was a real comfort to read. Especially as the reason for not selling was ‘not enough Instagram followers’ 😤. It’s been disappointing but finding a new platform to get my message across (hi Substack) and a like minded community gives me a little hope that the publishing industry isn’t the be all and end all of success. While it would be nice, I can find another way. Good luck with your next book. ♥️
So much wisdom in here as I struggle with the transition of published book 1 to book 2! The more time I spend as a writer the more I value the connection it creates and conversations you get to have! I'm going to go back to my why now. Thank you for this ☺️
This came at a perfect time! I've been working on two book drafts, so this was really helpful. Thank you for reminding us all that it's a long term commitment. I can't wait to hear more of your thoughts!
