284 Mike Lawson | Indie/Hybrid Romcom Author

What happens when a book "dies on submission"?

Indie romcom author Mike Lawson discusses some of the difficult realities of the publishing industry and how he channeled his 17-year cabin crew career into his queer rom-com Winging It. He explains why he split with his first agent and accidentally landed a new one. There's also a good chat about how Mike has navigated self-publishing with more confidence on his second time around.
