Episode 274: Getting Published

Sometimes you just want to make that thing happen.<br/><br/>In our new summer series, The Working Bookshelf, KJ and guest host Jennie Nash pull their favorite writing books off the shelf and debate: which is better and why&#8212;until invariably, they get distracted and just start talking about the topic at hand. Funny, fresh and full of frank advice, when KJ and Jennie get going they&#8217;re hard to stop.<br/><br/>This week, it&#8217;s <a href="https://bookshop.org/a/1183/9780761160854">The Essential Guide to Getting Published</a> versus <a href="https://bookshop.org/a/1183/9780143035657">78 Reasons Why Your Book May Never Be Published and 14 Reasons Why It Just Might</a> (which, KJ insists, is WAY more helpful than it sounds).<br/><br/>In a new twist, you can also watch these episodes on YouTube.
