If you’re a writer trying to break through, a reader who loves funny, thoughtful novels, or just someone curious about literature and creativity, there’s something here for you. Learn how Terry Fallis kickstarted his writing life by podcasting his first novel, winning a major literary award, landing a literary agent, signing with Penguin Random House/McClellend & Stewart, and living his dream. From the bleak and discouraging early days when no publisher would even send him an automated rejection letter, all the way through nine national bestsellers, multiple awards, a TV miniseries, a stage musical, and over 1,000 book talks, Terry shares it all with humour, heart, insight, and a love for the writing life.
