Bookbound

One essay—that begins in your journal!—can change your life.

On this episode of Bookbound, we explore the inspiring journey of Chloé Cooper Jones, whose memoir, Easy Beauty, began as an essay and turned into a Pulitzer Prize Finalist memoir.

As Chloé navigated the publishing world, she came away with some important insights on how to invest in the industry, the power of actually finishing the writing projects you start, and how to find and work with your agent and editor team for maximum success.

And all of these pieces make up the magic (not luck!) that is publishing a book that makes you a better artist and person.

Don't miss this juicy conversation about embracing imperfections, fostering genuine collaboration, and the magic of assembling a stellar team. (Plus, you just might catch a sneak peek into Chloé's upcoming second book!)
