How to Write a Book - Many of us have thought up a book idea one time or another. This new 12 week series by the author and podcaster Elizabeth Day hopes to navigate you through the whole process: from coming up with the right idea to navigating the labyrinth that is the publishing industry. 

Three industry heavyweights share advice and insight from the industry: they are literary agent Nelle Andrew (who won Literary Agent of the Year in 2021), best selling novelist and screenwriter Sara Collins (behind the book The Confessions of Frannie Langton) and publisher Sharmaine Lovegrove (co-founder and managing director of Dialogue Publishing, part of Hatchette). Having three different perspectives on the same process is actually a genius idea, as you see how they are all working towards the same goal, but have different things to consider. The first episode is out, but there is early access to new episodes if you subscribe to the How to Fail paid tier on Apple Podcasts.
