Carla Guiterrez, Global Head of Communications, Exasol
About Carla: Carla was born in Paradise and grew up devouring books and swimming in the sea (read: pretending she was a mermaid). It's for that reason that her stories always include references to the ocean. She writes to help people dream and visit the places we all wish were real.
Carla will share her journey in writing her third fantasy novel, her experiences working with critique partners and beta readers (and finding them!), and some of the challenges and obstacles she’s currently facing and how she’s dealing with them. Carla will share her top 3 tips for anyone in a similar stage of the publishing journey.
