Author Podcasts Struggles

You know how much I admire writers who blog, journal, and otherwise document their processes. The gutsiest one yet has to be Iowa novelist Jean Tennant, who will podcast her struggles to find an agent and publisher starting September 11. Tennant's saga is hopefully billed as "Getting Published" although she will share her journey, no matter the outcome, on The Writing Show. She'll ask listeners for feedback, posting portions of her manuscript, sample query letters, and marketing plan in The Writing Show blog. She says:

If I fail, I'll pull myself up by the bootstraps and try to figure out where my writing is lacking, and use the experience to improve my work. This should be fun. Scary, but fun.

FYI -- Podcasts are audio shows you can listen to on your iPod, standalone MP3 player, or computer. To listen on your computer, you need software like Windows Media Player, iTunes, Winamp, Real Audio, etc. You do not need to own or have access to an iPod to listen, but you can use one if you want to.
