I have been obsessed with writers since I first heard of Carrie Bradshaw when I was 13. It felt like the most magical, mysterious and cool job a metropolitan girl like me could have. It was always an enigma, a golden ticket, a special person card carrying club. And well, I still think it is.
The publishing world is wildly different from what I imagined and getting a book published isn’t as simple as thinking it should be. Who would have thought? My own journey of not getting a book published (yet) has taught me lesson upon lesson. But the five authors I’m inviting to talk to us have so much enriching and enlightening experience to share about their writing and book publishing journeys. This is an opportunity to hear the behind the scenes truth and ask the questions you wants answering.
Who is it for?
All curious nosey aspirational and interested people. You can come to simply listen and learn or with a list of questions.
Is it you?
I don’t want to ask for permission from anyone
I don’t want to sugar coat anymore
I am desperately seeking honesty
I want to say all my bad things
I don’t want to be good
I don’t want to be people pleasing
I want to be murky and weird and myself
I don’t want to care what anyone thinks
I don’t want to worry what impression I left
I want to own my desire
I want to own my sexuality
I want to own my NOs
I want to say what I’m not meant to say
I want to be free to have my own thoughts
I want to be in charge
I want to try the things I want to explore
I want to let my badness out
I want to find my voice
I want to be left alone
I want to be heard
I want to be listened to
I don’t want you to say a word
I want to find my own words.
