Breaking Through
Writer Simone de Muñoz recently learned that her book is being published, and we invited her to sit down for a little interview to talk about her experience.
Q: OK, Simone, can we have the basics about your project and your book coach?
Simone: My book, Manflu, is a thriller. I worked with Author Accelerator certified book coach Savannah Gilbo.
Q: How long did you work with you coach on this manuscript?
Simone: I have been working on this project with Savannah for two months.
Q: Which publishing route was taken for this project?
Simone: Manflu will be published by a hybrid publisher, Acorn Publishing.
Q: What moment are you most looking forward to in the publication process?
Simone: I can’t wait until I get a copy of the book into my hands!
Q: What are you most proud of in terms of this book’s journey?
Simone: I am most proud that I managed to write this book while working full-time and parenting two young children all in the midst of a pandemic.
Q: Was there ever a moment of doubt about the book? Would you be willing to share the darkest moment with us?
Simone: The hardest time was when I was about 40,000 words in and just couldn’t see how to finish it. That was when I contacted Author Accelerator and started working with a book coach. Going from pantsing to plotting allowed me to finish.
Thanks so much for taking the time to talk with us, Simone. And again, congrats on your huge accomplishment!
