how to become a writer (for Annabel Smith’s blog)

September 24, 2018 ~ clairevarley ~ Leave a comment

If you’ve not checked out the very excellent website of writer Annabel Smith, I highly encourage you to do so.

Annabel is on a mission to de-mystify and normalise the best kept secrets of being a writer – the challenges of making a crumb, how the industry works, the battles we all face to legitimise ourselves in our own eyes as writers. She’s just so grouse.

Why not start with my thoughts on all this? (I know I always do.)

A very kind and lovely review from 1girl2manybooks.

It’s been a scary/exciting/nauseating two weeks knowing that the book is out in the world now and that [shock horror!] people may actually be reading it. But reviews like this make all the late night cheese-eating seem worth it.
