In this no-fluff episode, publishing powerhouse Jane Friedman speaks to the aspects of writing and publishing that every aspiring author needs to hear about. 

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT: 

• The myth of the full-time writer dream—and why your day job might be your secret weapon
• How to build an author platform without selling your soul 
• The hard truth about bookstore distribution and hybrid publishing 
• How sponsorships can turn your author newsletter into a profitable platform—and why subscriptions might not be the move
• What nobody tells you about post-publication anxiety (spoiler: publishing a book doesn’t magically fix your inner critic)
