Discovering Your Unique Writing Process: Insights from a Published Author

the first Writes4Women webinar for paid Substack subscribers

In the inaugural Writes4Women webinar, podcast host Pamela Cook explores the evolution of her writing process over the course of her career. She provides a detailed analysis of how her approach has varied for each of her published books, including her latest manuscript, A Place to Call Home.

From her early attempts at literary fiction, through the fast-paced writing of NaNoWriMo, to her experiences with contractual deadlines, Pamela highlights the key differences and similarities in her method.

Additionally, she offers practical advice on utilising inciting incidents, developing deep points of view, and revising manuscripts. Whether you're a plotter or a pantser, this webinar aims to help you find and refine your own writing process.
