From writing the first chapter of The Undercurrent (Zibby Books, Oct 2024) as a standalone piece to fleshing out a full literary suspense novel I can’t put down, Sarah Sawyer has quickly become one of my new favorite authors.
In this episode of Write the Damn Book Already, we discussed:
- What has most suprised her about the publishing process
- Sarah's view of the editing process (which is one to adopt immediately, if not sooner!)
- The formidable task of securing blurbs (which even traditionally published authors often have to do themselves)
- How writing this book has caused her to look at other books and authors differently
