#101 Alicia D. Williams - Path to Publication, Part II: Hopes and Fears at 3 a.m.
•
Travis Jonker and Colby Sharp
In 2015, we sent soon-to-be debut author Alicia D. Williams an audio recorder. We were hoping she would be willing to document her experience of publishing her first book, GENESIS BEGINS AGAIN. Over the course of a few episodes, Alicia will share her story.
In this episode, Alicia can't sleep. It's 3 a.m. and she turns on the mic to talk about her publishing hopes and fears.
This episode is sponsored by NOSY CROW, and their innovative STORIES ALOUD program, which gives readers instant access to professionally produced and narrated versions of their books. Look for the STORIES ALOUD QR code on the back of Nosy Crow books to give it a try.
