Welcome, bookish besties, to our first-ever interview with an EDITOR! That’s right! Jamie Lapeyrolerie—editor for WaterBrook and Multnomah, imprints of Penguin Random House—graciously joined us for an episode packed with insights from behind the publishing curtain. What a joy of a conversation! How does Jamie’s team operate at PRH? How much does a novel typically change from acquisition to bookshelf? And what about the question of author platform, from the publisher’s POV?

Pop into the chat as Jamie dispels myths, illuminates details, and offers encouragement for authors at every stage!
