Uncovering Hidden Truths: Jacque Gorelick’s Journey Through Love, Loss, and Redemption in Map of a Heart
JG: My publishing journey had some stops and starts. It had the pandemic, which was a big hurdle and slowed me down, and then the day my kids went back to school in 2021, I was diagnosed with breast cancer, so that really derailed me for about a year. Once I got over the chemo and radiation, I started looking at small presses because it was another wake-up call about time. I submitted to Vine Leaves Press when they opened for submissions in September. They’re great. I’ve had a good experience. My developmental editor was so good. Our back and forth has been great. I would definitely recommend putting them on a list.
