#99 Alicia D. Williams - Path to Publication, Part I: Book Deal and Social Media
August 24, 2019
•
Travis Jonker and Colby Sharp
In 2015, we sent soon-to-be debut author Alicia D. Williams an audio recorder. We were hoping she would be willing to document her experience of publishing her first book, GENESIS BEGINS AGAIN. Over the course of a few episodes, Alicia will share her story.
Should you tell people you have a book deal when the book is a long way off? And how does a debut author navigate the world of social media? Alicia addresses both these topics in this episode.
