Publishing industry reporter Jane Friedman discusses her experience as an author and blogger and shares how writers from either background can leverage their work into a book, or turn their book into shareable online content.
Jane Friedman's decades of editing, publishing, and consulting expertise inform her reporting on publishing industry news through her blog, JaneFriedman.com, and her newsletters, Electric Speed and The Hot Sheet.
A book’s title is one of the most important elements to get right, and one of the trickiest. A great title should communicate the promise of the book and who it’s for to attract the intended audience — all in a few catchy and memorable words.
Maggie Langrick, a creativity coach and founding publisher at Wonderwell Press, explains what makes a successful title and subtitle and what to avoid if you want to make a great impression and hook a reader.

In this episode, Greenleaf's Print Production Specialist Angela Olmeta explains what goes into printing books and what authors should keep in mind if they’re planning to do so on their own.
There are a number of production factors that impact the final product of a book, from design elements that influence the cost of printing to supply chain constraints that can cause printing delays. Authors planning to self-publish have a lot of decisions to make, and if you aren’t prepared for common obstacles, you may find yourself without books in stock on your launch day, or even worse, with a book that costs more to print than buyers will pay for it.
Success comes down to how much an author is willing to pound the pavement and show up for their own work. Today we're joined by Greenleaf author Claire Isenthal to share the ways she’s tailored her content and outreach across different social media platforms to drive book sales, especially through Substack and Booktok.
We all know the benefits of social media and building a landing page for your readers. LinkedIn is a platform that does it all if you know how to use it. Today we’re joined by Owen Sammarone, founder and CEO of Unleash The Knowledge, a digital community for nonfiction authors to expand their reach. In this episode, Owen will explain how your LinkedIn profile can solidify your author brand, help you grow a network, and convert your audience to book sales.
If you want your book to be read around the world, there’s a good chance you’ll need to publish versions in different countries. In this episode, foreign rights agent Terrie Wolf explains the difference between foreign and translation rights, how to negotiate with publishers outside your country, and what an author should know if they want to publish internationally.

For episode 82 of Published, we're turning back time and revisiting one of our favorite episodes.
In episode 60, we spoke with Mimi Chan from Goodreads about how the platform can elevate your book promotion strategy. She shares tips and tricks to get more reviews, what a "perfect" book rating looks like (Hint: It's not 5 stars!), and the lesser-known author features on the platform.
In 2023, we interviewed over a dozen publishing industry experts for their insights on investing in the production of a book, self-promotion through interviews, podcasting, and social media, and distribution into bookstores and libraries. As we look forward to another year of the Published podcast, we’re returning to some of the best publishing advice of the year.
