That dream has fallen by the wayside, in large part due to a crappy summer internship. As soon as Gray found that letter, I was all in.Gray Weathersby’s eighteenth birthday is mere months away, and he’s prepared to meet his fate–until he finds a strange note from his mother and starts to question everything he’s been raised to accept: the Council leaders and their obvious secrets. My favorite literary cocktail is a realistic slice of life story told with humor and honesty. Except, perhaps, if I could be a freelance copy-editor, but…we’ll just have to see Congratulations on the upcoming release, and thanks to you both for such an insightful interview! Plus EPICNESS!My favorite mix would be Dystopian thriller with a romance (especially if forbidden) and a strong female character. Cocktail? TAKEN is right near the top of my list for debuts in 2013. I think in the end, whatever I do, I just want my job to be something I love. Best of luck!Can’t wait to read Taken!I love books that feel different from what they are. Or fantasy/paranormal + some mystery + some romance = a happy fangirl.I sought out and worked toward my current profession as a nurse.My current profession is one that for most of my thirty-something years I never thought I wanted to do … be a stay-at-home mommy!
I went to college for songwriting but knew I wanted a full time job in the music industry.
I am a student, and that is a career that I definitely sought out, worked hard to get the money for, and am currently going into debt because of. It is so strong. There’s nothing better than helping a person develop or regain functional communication.I have heard so many amazing things about UNSPOKEN and I still haven’t read it. While I appreciate the regularity of the paycheck and the pretty casual environment, I do know that it’s not for me – at least not in a “forever” sense. I’m a West Coast New Yorker! Changes in e-books have changed the way we do contracts–we are always adapting and revisiting our boilerplates to keep up.Wow! I’ve been excited the first time I read the pitch. I want this ARC now!!! I have much less time to read my requested manuscripts than I used to! I had big plans for a different path, but life threw me some big curve balls. I do hope to work in the literary world one of these days.I fell into my position. Characters are one of my biggest motivators to keep reading.Thanks, Naomi! !I’m a speech-language pathologist by day and author by night… Both are chosen fields that I love. My goal, though is to be writer that also edits, or perhaps an editor that writes. What a way to discover a new job. T’would be a historical thriller with sci-fi and romance elements. Like REALLY want to write. The characters begin to feel real and familiar. A couple of months later I got a temporary Saturday post at another branch, and then in December I landed at a permanent part-time post at my current branch. I always knew that I wanted to stay home for a couple years when I had kids, but I didn’t plan on getting pregnant while in college.
(no I don’t get to taste the beer)Reading Ms. Crowe’s insight into the publishing industry is great! I’m a West Coast New Yorker! To submit… I love Sara Crowe. Great interview, and I can’t wait for TAKEN either. And good look with your writing.Definitely fell into by happy accident. Also, I am most drawn to character-driven stories and love strong voice as well. So I’m seeking! I have to work for my clients first, and they give me a lot to read. And so excited for you to read TAKEN, Cassie!Lucky, lucky lady! ;DAt the moment, I’d like a nice fantasy. and became something I’ve worked very, very hard for.Strong characters, interesting plot, and exciting romance with a healthy splash of humor and poignance.My literary cocktail? Best of luck with TAKEN!
Amazing how certain threads–sometimes very odd or seemingly negative threads–align to bring us to new places. I needed a few more hours a week — and there was a Saturday assistant post open in my next town. For a new writer I want to love it first, but I also want something new—something that one of my talented super clients is not already doing. I never wanted to become an author until I worked for an author a few years ago.Enter your email address to receive notifications of new posts.I’m stalking your book, Erin… the premise reminds me of one of my favorite movies, The Island.
The story keeps getting bigger, and the stakes keep growing.
Category: Contemporary I am currently staying at home with my daughter and going to school. Would that even be possible? I am most drawn to literary voices in commercial packages. Glad we’ve both finally arrived. Right now, winter blah setting in and too much snow on the ground, I just love the escape I get from a good book.I sought out for my job as a Children’s bookseller! It owns my heart. Because knives are awesome.I was working in advertising, not education, but otherwise, your situation sounds a lot like mine.
