An interview with debut YA novelist, Namina Forna, about her upcoming novel THE GILDED ONES and how to balance marketing, the market, and social media.
From our conversation, Namina explained that she got an agent for a different manuscript. That agent then encouraged her plan to update her original MS for The Gilded Ones and helped her sell it!
How did you get an agent when you had no manuscript? It seemed like you had one before you wrote The Gilded Ones. I'm just curious XD
Usually, agents are gotten after a manuscript is written or after there is some piece of writing to get them to choose you. So, what's your secret 😋
