In this episode of Writers Chat, we decided it was time to let our community Pick the Brains of Authors.

Not literally.

But I have to confess the title in tandem with the image made me think this episode might be appropriate for Halloween.

All kidding aside, in this open mic, we gave our community the chance to ask those burning question they’ve often wanted to pose to authors.

Some of those questions include:

• What are your goals for the first draft, second draft, and so on?
• When finding an agent, what should you include in your proposal?
• Should I self-publish or trad publish?
• How do I approach potential influencers?

And that’s only the beginning!
