Writing and Selling YA Books with Nicole Brinkley, bookstore manager and host of the Misshelved podcast

The Write Start

Welcome to Episode 17 of The Write Start. I’m Lisa Iannucci, and this podcast is all about becoming a successful full-time freelance writer. I’ve had a very long career where I’ve written for many national magazines and written more than 20 books. On this podcast, you’ll learn from me and my amazing guests everything you need to know about writing for different genres, finding ideas, finding work, pitching editors and more, but most importantly, you’ll learn about making money. Let’s get started!

On today’s episode of The Write Start, I have a very special guest who I love with all my heart. Nicole Brinkley is not only my daughter, but she is also the manager of Oblong Books in Rhinebeck, NY and the host of the biweekly podcast Misshelved -- a podcast for book lovers. I have her on the show today because she has an interesting perspective about books and I know many of you want to write fiction and YA books, so listen closely because even I have learned so much from her.
