We're wishing you the best we can while times are rough. It's hard to concentrate but hope that our episodes give you a tiny bit of inspiration. We know that this will pass, we just have to stick through it together. This week we are happy to present Claribel A. Ortega, debut author of the fantastic middle-grade novel GHOST SQUAD. Claribel stopped by Deadline City to talk about what it's like being a debut author and how the publishing industry is constantly changing.

It's been a tough few weeks. Plans have changed. Routines have been disrupted. The publishing industry, along with many others, have taken a huge hit. This week we decided to talk about how self-isolation has affected our writing routines. Who even wants to think about deadlines at a time like this? But, some people do have to. This episode covers everything from updates to lists of resources to brighten your quarantine, to just plain encouragement that you're not alone.

S2: Episode 10 - Destination: Author Salon w/ Nic Stone

This week on Deadline City we have Clean Getaway author, Nic Stone joining the Author Salon! Nic Stone writes in multiple genres and age groups and we pick her brain about how she keeps track of everything. We all have so many stories to tell, but how do you decide a particular story is "the one"? What is Nic's method? How do you figure out who the protagonist is, or what age groups your audience is? All of these things come into play, as well as our usual writer shenanigans.
