From managing Broadway shows to consulting with non-profits, Christa Avampato has done it all. Now she has released her first young adult novel, "Emerson Page and Where the Light Enters."
Avampato joins Cheddar with a look at what it took to get it published. She says, "the first thing you have to do is write the book." From there you can get a publisher who will guide you through the rest of the process.
When asked about what it's like having editors and publishers critique her work, Avampato says that "you can't allow yourself to get deterred." There are going to be people who say no, but if you keep pushing forward, you will eventually succeed.
Stocks dipped Friday morning after the yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury crossed 5% for the first time in 16 years and also following Fed Chair Jerome Powell's remarks on Thursday.
Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said Thursday that inflation remains too high and that bringing it down to the Fed's target level will likely require a slower-growing economy and job market.
