August 8th – Shayla Black
Surviving Industry Changes: When it comes to publishing, the only thing an author can really count on is change. Shayla Black (aka Shelley Bradley) chats about strategies to help you survive and thrive after such set-backs as the loss of an editor, the discovery that your line is folding, or the news that your publisher (or the market in general) is no longer buying what you’re selling. Survival tips from a dozen years in the trenches included, to help you focus on long-term goals, deal with difficult setbacks, and keep going.
Shayla Black (aka Shelley Bradley) is the national bestselling author of 25+ sizzling contemporary, erotic, paranormal, and historical romances for multiple print and electronic publishers. She lives in Texas with her husband, munchkin, and one very spoiled cat. In her “free” time, she enjoys reality TV, reading and listening to an eclectic blend of music.
Shayla has won or placed in over a dozen writing contests, including Passionate Ink’s Passionate Plume, Colorado Romance Writers Award of Excellence, and the National Reader’s Choice Awards. Romantic Times has awarded her Top Picks, a KISS Hero Award and a nomination for Best Erotic Romance.
A writing risk-taker, Shayla enjoys tackling writing challenges with every book.
