Addicted to YA discussion

Hi everyone,

So I'm sharing the story of how I landed a publishing deal for my YA fantasy book, THE CLEARING. It's publishing later this year with Evernight Teen.

I'm sharing this because I've read so many success stories which make publishing seem easy...Quite frankly, I found those stories a real bummer - so here's my long arduous writing journey and all the things I learned along the way.

And there's still room for the sequel, if I ever land an agent!

Also, check out the #WriteMentor scheme (links in the video). It's a free summer programme where a mentor works with you on your manuscript and there's an agent round at the end. It helped me, and if you're an aspiring author, maybe it can help you too.

Best wishes,
Sam

Thanks for the info!

Thanks for sharing!
