Interview with Writer Emily Winslow

There’s no better advice to follow than that of a writer who is at the top of her game. Emily Winslow is one of those writers. Emily, an agented writer living in Cambridge (US is home for Emily) recently talked with Kristen King and gave Kristen her insights on book publishing, “agenting up” and how she turned a passionate topic into a marketable book. Emily’s story is quite intriguing, and when she moved to Cambridge, she looked at it as an advantage and centered her writing around her new home. Not an easy task, but I suspect Emily’s capable of nearly anything. One thing to note – Emily says she’s not a trained writer, yet here she is on the verge of selling her novel. That in itself is proof that talent wins out over schooling, and that tenacity goes far. So for those of you sitting there thinking you’re not able to write for whatever piece of paper is missing in your life, think again.

Kudos to Kristen for sharing Emily’s story with us! And thanks to Emily for her insights and tips. Read the story here. That Kristen was Emily’s editor surprises me none. It’s apparent Emily saw what we all see in Kristen – incredible talent.
