"Your career is unlikely to be a constant stream of hits, accolades, festival circuits — and that's kind of good, because if you're constantly on-the-road, it's hard to write and create."

In these essays, Angela Slatter — the celebrated author of the Sourdough stories, the Verity Fassbinder series, and (as A.G. Slatter) All The Murmuring Bones — tackles just what it takes to sustain a writing career after your book has launched.

Building on years of blog posts, keynotes, and articles, What To Do When You Don't Have A Book Coming Out explores ways you stay visible and sustain a writing career, with advice on doing public readings, applying for grants, engaging with your community, and surviving the fallow periods when the next release seems very distant.

Whether you're a new writer trying to plot out your career, or an existing fan of Slatter's writing looking for yet more sage advice, this chapbook provides a second look at the philosophy and processes of one of Australia's most acclaimed writers of fantasy and horror.
