Today's guest is Sara Jafari, British-Iranian author of THE MISMATCH and her latest novel, PEOPLE CHANGE. We speak about second book syndrome: the difference between writing the first book and second book, the lead times and the difference in marketing of the second book. We also speak about the importance of discipline over inspiration and whether we should read our own reviews. Sara is frank and honest about the industry and how attention is spread over debut novelists in comparison to mid-list authors.
Sara's work has been longlisted for Spread the Word's Life Writing Prize and published in gal-dem and The Good Journal. She is a contributor to I Will Not Be Erased and the upcoming romance anthology Who's Loving You. Sara also runs TOKEN Magazine, which showcases writing and artwork by underrepresented writers and artists
