This was great. Thank you, Courtney! Are you planning on holding more of these cohort Zooms? Love the author goal of simply imagining their book on the shelf. Clear and specific!
I don’t have immediate plans to do so as I’m fully immersed in preparation for the publication of my new novel but I hope to do more in general! That being said, all through August I ran workshops with filmed subscribers— those are quite interesting to watch!
Oh that’s terrible to hear. Right now, no, it’s only available via my Substack. I’m sorry to hear you are having trouble viewing it. It’s worked for others— have you tried a different browser?
This was great. Even though I'm not a debut author, I'm about to change genres and use a new pen name - so it had a lot of resonance for me. I'll be publishing modern gothic (in the UK) so I'll be on the lookout for Kerry's book when it comes out here. Thanks for doing this, Courtney, and thanks to all of the participants.
I so appreciate the thought each of the authors put into their responses to the questions. Courtney, you're a wonderful facilitator, balancing context and personal anecdotes with warm responses to the panelists and still moving everything along. Well done. Thank you for sharing this with us!
As someone hoping to go out on submission this year, this was the best webinar! Publishing has been so bewildering (especially now!) and Courtney, your book and your newsletter, is doing much to demystify this whole Byzantine process. This webinar was the icing on the cake! Thank you, Courtney!
This talk was so incredibly helpful! Thank you for organizing this, Courtney. And thank you to all of the writers sharing their experiences! My debut novel comes out with S&S next year, and this conversation has given me a lot of clarity on things I should prioritize and try out over this next year. Appreciate all of y'all and your work!

All the best with your novel prep. Exciting times ahead, no doubt!
What a sweet and honest conversation! This reminds me of the truly human nature behind the big publishers. An author cohort is just beyond brilliant 💕
Is this video available somewhere else? Here on the app it keeps crashing and when my screen lock it stops playing

What a warm, optimistic but realistic conversation. Thank you so much!
