PART 1… it’s double-bill time!
It suddenly occurred to us that we didn’t know much about independent publishers. And that doesn’t sit well with us - Not knowing stuff about the world of writing. So we reached out to our lovely online writer friends, and found a few people happy to talk about their experience of being published by a small press.
And what we found out was very eye opening!
About the pros and cons… How different publishers work with their writers… How widely they publish… What to expect from the relationship and why you might want to consider approaching a small press yourself!
