How it feels to get your writing published for the first time
There are so many writers either just starting out or right in the middle of their quest to get published. But what does it feel like when you eventually get there and how do you keep your feet on the ground? In this episode I chat to Donna Sørensen, who started writing poetry this time last year and ended 2010 with four of her poems published in a range of literary journals. We talk about the highs, the lows and the feeling you get when it all comes together.
You can also download an audio version of this episode, if that’s more your bag. All feedback on the format of this episode more than welcome.
