Mr. Lauden is kind enough to share his exciting journey to getting published with the rest of us novices who are still as he puts it, “dipping our toes in these murky waters,” just feeling out the landscape and writing our best to get in. Stay tuned for more of his sage advice as his career takes off like a rocket!

“Given the sudden increase in publishing activity around here, I thought I would start a semi-regular blog series about my beginner’s path to publishing. I am no expert, not by a long shot, and I don’t pretend to be. But as a rookie myself, I appreciate any insight I can get into this mysterious and often frustrating world. I hope you will enjoy what I have to share—whether you say “That sounds like a good idea. I think I’ll do that too,” “Why would anybody publish this idiot?!?” or something in between.”
