Maggie Clark asked Sarah Shell Teague:

With a busy life, how do you find time for writing and marketing your books?

Sarah Shell Teague My kids are grown and my job as associate editor of a local quality of life/tourism quarterly is part-time, so I have more time than twenty years ago. I have found that I've said about everything I want to say in fiction. I continue to write nonfiction, a little more streaky than I'd prefer. As for that monster, marketing, I did less this year. I've had much greater success where people know my work than with cold calls. Too many people competing for bookstore shelf space! But that doesn't stop me from writing.
