The writing and publication journey involves frequent input from others—editors, agents, critique partners, and readers. In this episode, Christina Shawn (Author) and Danielle Render Turmaud (Host) talk about finding ways to lay down the approval of others and let your writing journey be your own (even when querying and on submission).
