Talking Aussie Books with Pamela Cook

About this episode

Claudine Tinellis chats with Pamela Cook about her publishing journey from traditional to indie and back, discussing the lessons learned along the way.

The last time I chatted with Pamela Cook for the podcast was back in 2019 - to celebrate her self-published release 'Cross My Heart'. Six years later and 'Cross My Heart' is being re-released by Vinci Books and I took the opportunity to talk to Pamela about her journey from traditional published author, to indie publishing and back to traditional and the lessons she's learned along the way. An illuminating discussion about the highs and lows of the writing life and what happens if you keep writing and stay open to new opportunities. I loved this chat and hope you will too.
