Book Club Fiction Jessica Strawser and Taking a Pause




Queries, Qualms, & Quirks show

Summary: <p>Book Club Fiction Jessica Strawser joins Queries, Qualms, &amp; Quirks this week to discuss not believing in her own writing, being inspired by the authors she interviewed, realizing successful authors are regular people, the difference between knowing what a good query letter is and writing your own, the overlap in publishing schedules, worrying you've wasted so much time, advice from Debbie Macomber, and not being afraid to take a pause.</p> <p>Jessica Strawser is editor-at-large for Writer's Digest, contributing editor at Career Authors, and author of five popular book club novels, including the Book of the Month selection NOT THAT I COULD TELL. Most recently, A MILLION REASONS WHY released in a new paperback edition, and her latest, THE NEXT THING YOU KNOW, hit shelves March 22 from St. Martin’s Press.</p> <p>Jessica: <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1s1GSQ8HKUO2dscEXrXHTg8DuZ4H9vbBKWwu5XoBsJKs/edit?usp=sharing"><u>Query</u></a> | <a href="http://www.jessicastrawser.com/"><u>Website</u></a> | <a href="http://www.twitter.com/jessicastrawser"><u>Twitter</u></a> | <a href="http://www.instagram.com/@jessicastrawserauthor"><u>Instagram</u></a> | <a href="https://amzn.to/3942HhF"><u>Amazon</u></a> | <a href="https://bookshop.org/a/1209/9781250241641"><u>Bookshop</u></a> | <a href="https://www.indiebound.org/book/9781250241641?aff=72724"><u>IndieBound</u></a> | <a href="https://libro.fm/referral?isbn=9781250837752&amp;rf_code=lfm164099"><u>Libro FM</u></a></p> <p><a href="https://sarahnicolas.com/queries-qualms-quirks/"><u>QQQ Home Base</u></a> |<a href="https://www.patreon.com/pubtalklive"> <u>Support on Patreon</u></a></p> <p>If links aren't clickable, find them here: <a href="https://bit.ly/qqqstrawser"><u>https://bit.ly/qqqstrawser</u></a></p> <p>This page includes affiliate links.
