Publisher's Synopsis
"....through it all, there was always the silence. The lack of applause. I didn't realize I wanted it until it wasn't there. Sometimes I'd print out a page and hurry it into the living room for my husband to read. He always encouraged me.
"But most of the time I was left to wonder how everyone was enjoying my book. Which parts were their favorites? Did they laugh at that great line on page 40? I'd never know.
"Writing, I grew to learn, was going to be a place where I would need to understand that even in wild success, there would be little applause."
Join novelist and screenwriter Rene Gutteridge for insights into the writing life. Fresh and honest, When There Is No Applause will delight fans and encourage upcoming authors to follow their dreams-even when it seems like no one takes notice.
