Summary
"I think a lot of us have that thing where it's like, 'Who am I to think I could write a book?' I'm now always telling people, 'Who are you not to?'" Zibby is joined by New York Times bestselling author and founder of Legacy Launch Pad Anna David to talk about the re-release of her novel, Party Girl, as well as the many other things she is working on. Anna shares how her disappointing experience with traditional publishing led her to start an independent service designed to help authors succeed on their own terms, and her new project, Hollywood Book Directory, which helps get books optioned. The two also discuss why they are shaking up the industry and some of the successes they've already had along the way.
