THE SOCIETY OF UNPUBLISHED AUTHORS

This episode is all about how much money you should/could spend chasing your dream of being a published author, and what you can do if you have none.

We discuss creative writing courses, manuscript assessments, competitions and other paid avenues to publication.

We also share our favourite free resources such as podcasts, online videos, critique groups and libraries. We encourage everyone to attend book launches, even if you don’t know the author or illustrator.

We hear from some other creatives about their ideas for the best paid and unpaid resources for writers. Big thanks to Amanda Lieber, Liz Ledden, Zoe Gaetjens, Artelle Lenthall, and Melissa Kelly.

Finally, we talk about reframing the term ‘chasing your dream’ into something more tangible.
