Navigating the world of being a debut novelist - Mark McAvaney
Have you ever wanted to write your own novel but don’t know how to start? Also, how do you the navigate the publishing world? Mark McAveney is a new Australian author, who grew up in the Clare Valley, who now lives in London and has just published his first book - For Everything a Time . This interview isn’t about the book - it’s all about writing the book, the process, the constant editing and back and forth with publishers. He was recently in Clare as part of his Australian book tour. Enjoy this chat with Mark McAveney who is still coming to terms with his celebrity status.
You can grab his book "For Everything A Time' which has been getting great reviews I might add online or any major book stores and I also believe you can get it from your local library.
