The Year of Living Authorly

Maybe you remember that I have a book coming out September 12, 2017.

My God. That’s this year.

So, how’s that going? Well, I just turned back in the proofs over Christmas Break, so next up I’ll get a cover and another glance at the final version, and then there will be ARCs and reviews and touring.

Wow.

It goes without saying that I have a lot to learn about how to navigate a new phase of my writing career successfully. I will be posting links to excellent things I find out, writing both here and at Unreliable Narrators about what I am learning, and creating a resource page to share with you, so when you get to this point, you can start here.

So, first of all, I’ve uncovered what many people probably know about: Mary Robinette Kowal’s Debut Author Posts There’s a lot of really good information here that Kowal has collected as she has gone/goes through it. I found the entry on planning a debut party particularly useful.
