The New Global Student: On Becoming An Author

by Maya on May 21, 2009

Yesterday, Tom took this three-minute video as I met my agent for the first time and found my book on the shelves at Barnes & Noble here in New York. I navigated through the entire pitch-to-publication process via email while living in Argentina, so if you’re dreaming of publishing a book someday (the old way, with an agent and everything) I hope you’ll find this inspiring!
