Hello and welcome to Nerd Corner with Sarina and Jess! I love these episodes because I will never, ever know as much about the publishing industry as Sarina Bowen, and I learn so much from her. This week, she answers a question she got from a listener, paraphrased thusly:

The fact that we live in a world where any reader is interested in the answer to this question soothes my troubled soul.

Here are a few helpful links that expand on the topics we discuss in this episode:
