We're up to episode 6 in this season of The Writer's Help Desk, and this episode is part 2 in my discussion about publishing and what went on in the background, behind the scenes, to get The Rose A Reality TV Romance published. I take you behind the curtain to see how unexpected life things happened, how changing my day job was meant to help me have more time for writing but didn't and the minefield of logistics and mental gymnastics that it takes to get published. There's a whole lot of encouragement in this episode, too, because writing a book and publishing it is HARD!

In this season of The Writer's Help Desk, I'm taking you Behind the Scenes so you can see the processes that I used to get from idea to published with my up-and-coming novel The Rose A Reality TV Romance.

There are lots of things I learnt, things that worked really well, that I use now when I'm writing my new books. There are things I would do differently, too.

This season takes you inside my life, a sneak peek at what was going on life-wise in my world as I wrote The Rose, and gives you some encouragement that you can do it too!

Episode 5 it's time to delve into the publishing process and all the things I learnt taking my novel from manuscript through to something that resembles what you would find in a book store or library.

I cover things like covers, genre, formatting, pen names and lessons I learnt along the way!
