CJLY Co-Op Radio

Writing. Rewriting. The editor. The agent. The publisher. The road tour. Aftermath revelations. 

Pearl Luke: "I knew I had something and I had a very short time, a little window, to make something of it."

Pearl Luke

Pearl Luke's two novels are Burning Ground and Madame Zee, based on the life of a BC cult leader's wife, published by HarperCollins Canada. "There comes a point where you have to organize what you write." A thank-you to Randy Morse, The Writers' Show resource, for entertaining information on foreign rights and literary contests.

Topics: Luke's publishing story; literary agent Denise Bukowski ; the difference a book's title makes; a book's ancillary rights (foreign rights); on entering literary contests; the role of the editor in the formation of the final book; three tips for writers; online mentoring.
