In today's Bumper November Bonus Episode, Emilie Sommer of East City Bookshop kicks us off with suggested comp titles.
After which, Bianca is joined by Uzma Jalaluddin and Marissa Stapley, co-authors of Three Holidays and a Wedding. They discuss the differences in approach in writing a collaborative project rather than a solo one; the benefits of writing genre-fiction when it comes to creating an outline, and the importance of an outline in a collaborative process; the idea of tackling hard subjects, but with the promise of a 'happily ever after'; and the shift in the tone and subject matter of romance novels and rom-coms in recent times.
CeCe then chats with her client, Dr. Tracy Dalgleish, about her book, I Didn’t Sign Up for This. They also discuss how they met and decided to work together; why Tracy wrote this book the way she did; how we learn through stories and how psychological tools can be useful when
writing fiction; the parallels between relationship challenges and writing; the emotional challenges that come with the intention of being traditionally published; practicing self-care while going through the phases of writing and publishing; and there’s a special giveaway for listeners!
Finally, in the Q&A segment, Carly and CeCe answer all your
burning questions!
