What To Do When You Don't Have A Book Coming Out & Even More Sage Advice

"Your career is unlikely to be a constant stream of hits, accolades, festival circuits - and that''s kind of good, because if you''re constantly on-the-road, it''s hard to write and create."

In these essays, Angela Slatter - the celebrated author of the Sourdough stories, the Verity Fassbinder series, and (as A.G. Slatter) All The Murmuring Bones - tackles just what it takes to sustain a writing career after your book has launched.

Building on years of blog posts, keynotes, and articles, What To Do When You Don''t Have A Book Coming Out explores ways you stay visible and sustain a writing career, with advice on doing public readings, applying for grants, engaging with your community, and surviving the fallow periods when the next release seems very distant

Whether you''re a new writer trying to plot out your career, or an existing fan of Slatter''s writing looking for yet more sage advice, this chapbook provides a second look at the philosophy and processes behind one of Australia''s most acclaimed writers of fantasy and horror.
