Costanza Casati on Becoming a Debut Author
An interview with the author of THE PRESIDENT SHOW, a new feminist dystopian novel out this March
Facing rejection is a huge part of being a writer. Whether that’s submitting an article proposal to a publication you are passionate about or sending your first book off to a literary agent. Writing a novel is no easy feat, but often, getting past that stage is the easiest.
This can be particularly hard if you’re a young, debut author, trying to convince experienced publishers why your book stands out and why they should publish it. Part of the beauty of being a writer in this day in age is that anyone can self-publish their work, which was the route this author decided to take after experiencing a few setbacks.
I spoke to Costanza Casati about what it was like to write her first book, the publishing process and where she draws her inspiration from as a writer.
