Hey guys! Okay after getting permission from the bigwigs here I am now posting this thread.

On Feb 1, I am hosting the author Lisa Clark on my blog. She is another author with my agency and a really sweet person. She writes non-fiction books for teen girls, dealing with everyday issues along with greater concepts like self-esteem. She was hoping she could do some sort of question and answer thingy on my blog, so what I thought was I would post here, you guys could ask questions of her, I could email them along to her and then on Feb 1 you can visit my blog to see the answers. I figure I'll collect questions till Friday so that she can have some time to answer them.

Sorry if I am not being clear, this is my first time doing something like this, and I just want to be a good host for her.

Here's some more info on her, and please feel free to visit her website, http://www.pink-world.co.uk, as well:

"Lisa Clark is author-girl of Think Pink, a brand new series of feel-good, go-for-it guides for teen girls, I’m an agony aunt for the fabulous Mizz magazine and I’m a freelance writer type too… I’m also a dreamer, a wannabe 60’s icon, a ray of sunshine, a book-reader, a lover of beautifully packaged cosmetics, chocolate and most importantly, a girl who thinks seeing the world through pink-tinted shades is a more than do-able way to live life…

Yeah, but what exactly does she do?
You mean apart from drooling over stupidly expensive shoes and handbags? Well, Lisa is a:
  • Agony aunt for national teen magazine, Mizz
  • Teen consultant/expert for organisations, brands and charities
  • Freelance journo-girl who writes for magazines both in the UK and the US.
  • A weekly columnist for Portsmouth Evening News – Lily L’amor’s Guide for Girls
  • A workshop facilitator - running workshops across the country encouraging tween and teen girls to become feisty, fun, fearless and fabulous!

I'm thinking I wasn't really all that clear here. I meant that if anyone has any questions writing wise for her, not agony aunt wise. Just about her process or how she promotes her stuff or whatever. Anyway, I hope that makes it clearer, sorry for any confusion!

To help you out: How did you get started in the industry, and what first steps should someone take, who wants to write freelance or their first book?
What should one do as far as promotion, once they've broken in?
