Learning how to get a book deal is an incredible milestone for many authors, as the culmination of years of hard work creating your masterpiece is seeing it published. In this interview, Susanna Lancaster, author of The Growing Rock, shares her origin story and discusses how to get a book deal.
Susanna Lancaster grew up as a shy, nerdy kid who loved to read and write. With two librarians as parents, the love for reading and writing was an integral part of her family culture. Through high school and college, she continued to write and decided to major in creative writing. Her teachers encouraged her to develop her writing. After college, she took a year off and looked for a graduate program. She decided she wanted to focus on writing books for children and found a program at Lesley University that perfectly matched what she was looking for. It was through that program that she figured out what she cared most about writing. The Growing Rock was her thesis at this program.
Writing is a great way to express yourself and it was the way that Susanna was able to stand out as the middle of 5 children. She shared her stories with her parents and it made her special. She believes stories help connect people with characters going through the same problems and situations we find ourselves in today. These things grew her passion for writing. When something happens, her response now is to write a story about it. That way she can either change the outcome in a way that she would prefer.
Her advice for others would be to recognize that you already are a writer. You don't have to wait. If you already love it, you already are a writer even if you haven't been published. Second, don't give up. It can be hard, but it is worth it and someone will want your story. Listen to her interview to hear the rest of her story!
