13: Laura Anne Gilman: Professionalism and the Aspiring Writer

Tonight, we spoke with Laura Anne Gilman author of the Paranormal Scene Investigation series , The Vineart War novels and The Retrievers series. Although the writing in your work (s) must be as polished as it can be first, LAG shared:

• The best (and worst) novel pitches she's ever heard as a former editor.
• Whether or not you have a presence on Social Media (Twitter or Facebook etc) it shouldn't make or break your writing career.
• Ways you can properly "work" a Convention (be it a writing convention or a genre centric convention) as an aspiring author.

And much much more!
