S5E5 - How Do I Become a Writer?

Writing and publishing a book can be a daunting process. It starts with an idea and hope for the future, but is often crushed by the constant questions along the way. Writing Roots is using December to explore your questions, along with questions we see most often in our business.

What is the difference between being a writer and being an author? How do I even get a book published? Should I be going to writer's conferences and retreats? Is all of that even required to be a writer? These are just some questions people wonder as they're beginning a career in writing. Hosts Leigh and Ley address these and more in the first part of this two-episode set on becoming a writer.
