6 Small Press Authors: Does publishing change you? | The Write Project

For an unpublished author, there's nothing so certain as the goal of being published, so much that it consumes the art. As such, it's a massive shift once that goal first occurs! In this episode, we ask six authors how being published changed their writing process!

Featuring, from Engen Books:
Brad Dunne, author of The Merchant's Mansion
Peter Foote, author of Stowaway's Luck
Elizabeth Whitten, author of Off-Panel: A History of NL Comix
Ida Linehan Young, contributor to Terror Nova: Lurking in Darkness
Alex Hickey, contributor to Cryptids from the Rock

And bestselling author Katie Berry, author of Claw!
