Happy Summer Solstice, Inklings!

A big thank you to Rebecca Mascull for being such an honest and generous guest at The Inkwell Salon this week, and thank you to everyone who came along on the night.

Things we talked about:

  • How the money works in traditional publishing deals

  • The choices authors have about how to earn money

  • How royalties work and how much you actually get paid per book

  • Commercial publishing, burnout and writing multiple books a year

  • Building a career that supports your creativity and your bank balance

And more! If you’ve ever wondered what it really takes to earn money by writing books, you do not want to miss this conversation! The replay is available for all Inkwell members below. Keep scrolling! ⬇️

Save the Date

Our next Salon will be Tuesday 15th July, 6pm - 7pm (UK time)

In July our special guest will be Cathy Rentzenbrink. Cathy writes fiction, memoir and nonfiction and has a wealth of experience to share. She’s known for her generous and insightful teaching and encouragement of other writers. We’ll be focusing our conversation on dealing with the feelings – how to handle those tricky, sticky bits of being a writer, and how to carry on despite them. You don’t want to miss this one, so pop in in the diary now!
