So, the 8th question is “How long after writing first book until you actually were published?”

1) Author #1 :  Tetasheri Whitney

1 week.

2) Author #2:  Beth Merlin

My first book One S’more Summer, took about 10 years from when I started writing to getting published. The second two in the series S’more to Lose and Love You S’more were published about a year apart.

3) Author #3:  Tracy Orchard

Talking of Two Women & Too Many Men which is my chick lit novel, I self published on Amazon within months of finishing the book.

4) Author #4:  Jae El Foster

I self-published my first novel in 2005 and saw my first contract with DCL Publications in 2008. I still periodically self-publish certain pieces as some things I write may not be fitting for DCL, but I’d rather self-publish those pieces than work with another publisher. DCL is like family after all of these years, and I’m faithful to family.

5) Author #5:  Adesanya

Early oughts, I think it was.

6) Author #6:  Amy Spitzfaden

I finished my first complete manuscript in fall 2010, and published my first book (a different one) May 2015.

7) Author #7:  Summer Dowell

I finished my first book about five months before I published it. Editing is always a slow process for me but especially for that first one.

8) Author #8:  Jennifer Patricia O’Keeffe

My first story ‘We Made Snow Angels’ was published November 2018, just a few months after my submission.

9) Author #9:  Sasha Lane

I self published immediately with an eBook on Amazon, but then progressed to Paperback books after my second book, so all three are in eBook and hard copy, and I now have an audiobook version for the first book too.

10) Author #10:  Kristin Billerbeck

Just a year. I know, I got lucky.

11) Author #11:  Phaedra Patrick

It took me over fifteen years to be published, I would say. I wrote six novels before I got an agent, and a further two that got me an agent but no publishing deal. The Curious Charms of Arthur Pepper was the first book I had published, three years ago.

12) Author #12:  Katie Joyce Cross

Somewhere around a year.
