Alicia D. Williams: An Agent, An Auction, and a Book Deal

November 24, 2019 by Travis Jonker   Leave a Comment

Alicia D. Williams

Travis: Today we’re proud to share the fourth and final episode in our miniseries with Genesis Begins Again debut author Alicia D. Williams.

In this episode, Alicia gets honest about her struggle to overcome inadequacy, how she got into writing, and her journey to publishing her debut novel. I think everyone (and especially aspiring writers) will be inspired by Alicia’s path to publication.

We hope you enjoy this episode:
