14: Perseverance to Publish with Author Cheryl Wanner
In this episode, I have the honor of interviewing author Cheryl Wanner as part of our Author Interview Series.
Cheryl Wanner is the debut author of a YA Contemporary Romance novel SEE ME AS I AM, which released on May 16th, 2023 by Immortal Works Press.
Cheryl Wanner is a YA author who loves crafting words into images, creating characters that won't let you go, and telling stories that deliver impact as well as entertain. She's also an amateur photographer, a synth keyboardist, an outdoor enthusiast, and a former host mom of exchange students from all over Europe and Asia. She and her husband have two grown children of their own.
In this interview, Cheryl shares her publishing experience and what led her to this point, such as:
- The dream that inspired a 20-year pursuit to get published.
- How winning the RevPit contest changed her writing process.
- The commitment to this story, no matter what.
- The pivot toward signing a deal with a smaller traditional publishing house and why it was the best move for her.
- And what her debut YA novel, See Me As I Am, is all about and where to buy it.
I loved doing this interview and I hope you enjoy listening.
