To Stay, To Stay, To Stay by Devon Halliday – How Rejection (and Silence) Is Feedback – Debutiful
Devon Halliday, author of To Stay, To Stay, To Stay, joined the podcast to discuss what working as a literary agent taught her about rejection, why she learned to tear a novel down and rebuild it from scratch, and using her publishing experience to make the industry a little less opaque for other writers.
