How Darienite Kristen Harnisch Got Her Novel Published
|
Kristen Harnisch had written her first novel, “The Vintner’s Daughter” and had started sending it to publishers and literary agents and got rejection letter after rejection letter. But that turned around. By chance, a friend put her in touch with a literary agent who lived in California wine country (where much of the novel takes place), was interested in wine and often went to France (where much of the rest of the novel takes place). Here’s how Harnisch, now working on her third novel and expecting her second to be published next March, described the ups and downs of getting her first one published. She talked about getting her novel researched and written (covered in Darienite.com’s first article in this two-part series) as well as published in a talk last month at the Darien Library Association’s annual meeting.
