In part two of this old episode from January of 2024. Bob is correct (even now), there is a lot of audio to be worked through. Bob continues to talk about the idea of submitting manuscripts and the things that authors should keep in mind as they approach submitting their manuscript to publishers.
Three questions every writer should be asking themselves at the point they feel they are ready to submit.
Brick Cave's Submission Process is available to review online at:
