Hi Taylor, I love your books. My favorite one so far is One True Loves. As a writer aspiring to be published someday, what was your very first published piece of work and what was that experience like? How has your publication journey changed throughout the years?

Hi Janae,
I started out writing essays about my life and posting them on writer community blogs. I have to say, if it wasn't for the encouragement of other writers, I don't know if I would have had the guts to start writing fiction. Eventually, I wrote a book, started selling personal essays to a couple of women's interest sites, and then eventually got a book deal. But it all started with sharing my work online with strangers.
Those first readers made all the difference for me.
Best of luck to you!
