AM I WRITE?

17. YOU are the Talent: Advocate for Yourself and Take Questions Seriously

Sheridan Sharp

Thriller author Maggie Giles takes a seat with host Sheridan Sharp to talk about her experience with the query/publishing process, including an almost-signed book deal that SHE turned down. Get a greater understanding of the power in your gut instinct and the importance of getting your book deal questions answered when the time comes. 

Learn about what it’s like writing with Aphantasia (the inability to form mental images of objects that are not present), the learning benefits from the query process, and being true to what you love.
