This is very interesting and helpful, Penny. I like the idea that the slow pace of book publishing allows space for new ideas, changes, movement. Thank you.

I would think so, as a slower pace in other aspects of life is also liberating. Thanks!

Really interesting to see how different it is from self publishing where the research and exploration process can all happen during the writing rather than some being before.

Yes I can imagine! Although I think some people still do proposals which becomes their road map for writing the full manuscript

Love this park behind the scenes of the process, Penny. So valuable and interesting for people who’ve never been through it

It’s so good to know how the process works and that a shift - or a few shifts! - can be accommodated if that’s what the book demands!
