How do authors make money? Great question! Royalties, advances, lending rights... so much to unpack but I'm keeping it simple in the hope to bring some clarity to an often confusing topic.

This week I welcome our second guest author for 2024, debut novelist Liz Foster. Liz's contemporary fiction novel 'The Good Woman's Guide to Making Better Choices' is out now and is a terrific read. 
Liz joins me to today to tackle three common questions from listeners including:
How to know when your manuscript is ready for submission.
What the editing process is like. 
And, Liz also offers her advice for authors seeking traditional publication. 
It's a ripper of an episode with so many great nuggets of wisdom. 
 
You can find Liz at www.lizfoster.com.au 
More about The Good Woman's Guide to Making Better Choices, here.
