Navigating the World of Partnership Publishing with Sue Reed

Join author Sue Reed for an insightful online event as she discusses the highs and lows of her journey into the world of partnership publishing. (I will post the link tomorrow for all paid subscribers)

Sue will share with the Heartleaping tribe her experience publishing The Rewilding of Molly McFlynn (her brilliant and gripping YA novel) and share the challenges and triumphs she faced with this hybrid publishing model.

After months of agent rejections, Sue found a home for her book through partnership publishing—and now it's a hit, with feminist readers across all ages embracing its bold themes.

In this session, Sue will discuss everything from the emotional rollercoaster of getting a partnership deal to balancing the costs of publishing and marketing on her own terms. Whether you’re an aspiring author curious about alternative publishing routes or simply a fan of The Rewilding of Molly McFlynn, this event offers a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to get a book from your desk to the shelves—on your own terms.

Expect to hear about:

  • The nitty-gritty of partnership publishing

  • The personal and financial investment required

  • Tips on navigating self-promotion and marketing

  • The ongoing success of The Rewilding of Molly McFlynn

If you haven’t finished your book, join us every week at the Heart Leap Writing Hour starts at 9am on a Tuesday and a Thursday.
