Hi writers,
This Friday I’m going on Substack Live with Brooke Warner, and I’d love for you to be there.
Brooke is the publisher and co-founder of She Writes Press, COO of The Stable Book Group, and co-founder of Memoir Nation with Grant Faulkner (who joined me on a Live this past summer and connected me to Brooke!). Brooke spent thirteen years in traditional publishing before starting her own press in 2012, and over 10,000 people read her Substack, Writerly Things, every Sunday.
Here’s what we’ll get into:
How publishing money works: what hybrid authors pay, what they keep, and what separates the ones who earn it back
Why her most-read post tells most writers to stop querying agents, and what to do with those six months instead
Writing about real people in memoir without getting sued
How to spot a fake “book marketer” before they take your money
What sells books, and one thing you can do this month if you don’t have a platform yet
So many of you are writing a book on the side of client work. A novel, a memoir, a nonfiction book built on your expertise, or someone else’s book as their ghostwriter. Brooke has seen the business side of hundreds of books from the inside, and this is the conversation to have before you spend a dollar (or a year) on the wrong path. Bring your questions, too. I’ll save time at the end for them.
Join us live on Substack:
Friday, October 2 at 12pm PT / 3pm ET

See you there,

Best of luck, Writers! Wish I could go, but I’ll be on the Pole 💈
