商品簡介
From the first novel she wrote at the age of ten to her most recent books published by commercial houses (WHEN FRIENDSHIP HURTS, Simon & Schuster; ESSENTIALS OF VICTIMOLOGY, a textbook published in 2022 by Aspen Publishing), HOW TO PROMOTE YUR BOOK (Square One Publishers, February 15, 2023), or through her own small press, Hannacroix Creek Books, Inc (FRIENDGEVITY; WORK LESS, DO MORE; ON THE RUN, a novel, and FRIENDSHIFTS), this prolific, award-winning writer has done it all. Starting off by working fulltime in such amazing publishing companies as Macmillan (2 years) followed by learning everything about trade book publishing as she worked alongside Barney Rosset, the legendary founder of Grove Press, for a year, Jan has a lot to share about writing, getting published, and some of the adventures she has had going on cross country and even international author tours. In her memoir, Jan shares about interviewing everyone from puppeteer Jim Henson to playwright Harold Pinter. Her books in a range of genres-- nonfiction, fiction, and illustrated children's books -- have been translated into 35 languages. She's been on several 5 to 18-city cross-country author tours in the U.S. as well as international author tours throughout the UK, Sweden, Australia, and New Zealand. ADVANCE PRAISE:
"A fascinating autobiography that takes the reader behind the scenes of a life well-lived as an author and freelance writer. Full of personal anecdotes and insights; rich in drive and passion."
-Helen Errington, writer and editor "Running through both success and adversity, the thread connecting Jan Yager's many adventures and multiple careers is writing: writing as a career (she's written more than 50 books!), writing as therapy, and most of all--like so many of us writers--writing because she can't NOT write! Jan is also a model of aging creatively, full of future writing projects she'd like to do through her 70s and into her 80s, as well as advice to nascent writers"
--Shel Horowitz, author, Grassroots Marketing, and book shepherd
