Kate Gale is a literary force in book publishing. The power behind Red Hen Press, she is also a vibrant poet and author in her own right. Her Substack gives us a personal peek into the complicated world that created and nourishes this icon of independent publishing.
Real talk about the writing + publishing industry from an author who doesnāt want you to feel confused, bewildered, or alone. Plus: craft tips, reading recommendations, writing support + solidarity (unless you are a jerk to people in the comments).
This is a terrific resource for any aspiring author. Courtney is a pro who knows her stuff and is incredibly generous in sharing insights!
Receive a wkly + deeply personal look under the hood from a GenX'r with an MFA + ADHD, documenting the struggles + triumphs of making her novel dreams come true! 2nd hand motivation might follow. Part accountability, part comedic relief, fully relatable!
Learn about life after getting an MFA -- the writing life and all the other lives that writers--especially women writers -- must cultivate to feed their souls! Thank you for adding your voice to Substack, Lily!
