Welcome, writers and book lovers. The Bleeders is a podcast about book writing and publishing.
Make sure you subscribe to the companion Substack: https://thebleeders.substack.com/welcome
Today’s guest is Sarah Fay, memoirist, writing coach, and Substack strategist. Her debut memoir,
Pathological, chronicles her 25-year journey through the mental health system. In this episode, Sarah shares how she manifested her dream agent, her surprisingly fast path to publication (during the pandemic no less!), how she found the structure for
Pathological, why she decided to serialize her second memoir, and more. Plus, she offers tips for thriving on Substack (and why it might be better than an MFA), along with practical advice on book PR. Follow Sarah on
Substack @sarahfay.
