A few months ago I had a very interesting chat with Kit Carstairs, the founder of the Manuscript Appraisal Agency.
Kit shared with me a lot of tips for those who want to write a book and get published. Here we discuss Traditional VS Self-Publishing, book editing, writing inspiration, entrepreneurship, work-life balance, and more.
I enjoyed this talk so much! Kit is not only a publishing guru but more importantly a sweet, lovely person! Enjoy!
