This episode is for the writer who wants to better understand the publishing industry.

Pop culture has sold us a very shiny, very curated picture of the publishing industry—New York skyscrapers, champagne book launches, and the lucky author who got picked from the slush pile. But here’s the truth: publishing is an industry, and when you understand it for what it really is, you get to take back control over your own career as a memoir author. Today, I want to give you a crash course in how the publishing industry has evolved—and what that means for authors right now. The more informed you are as an author, the more power you have over your career, and my intention for this episode is for you to see that you actually do have all the control over your trajectory and career as a memoir author. Let’s get started.
