Launching Your First Page Turning Bestseller

Join this rare and intimate conversation with Suzanne Kingsbury, Founder of Gateless Writing and Laura Belgray on the life behind the scenes of her bestselling title Tough Titties: On Living Your Best Life When You’re the F-ing Worst, repped by Park and Fine and published by Hachette. Laura has become one of the foremost experts on the non-fiction launch.
In this hour-long conflab, Laura and Suzanne show you how to move your life stories into a book that hits the list and winds up as a Kelly Ripa fave. You will learn how to leverage vulnerability, old bullies and some of your worst “mistakes” into non-fiction that makes the reader laugh out loud even while she’s learning to accept the self she thought she had to reject. And, too, there’s all the tea: why Laura almost returned her advance money, who she leans on when writing blocks hit, how her book found its way to a billboard in Times Square and, most of all, how fun it is to prove your first editor wrong when she tells you, “it will never happen.”
