In today's 'Craftwork' episode, a conversation with Kathleen Schmidt. She is a longtime publishing industry veteran with in-depth experience in a variety of roles, including as a publicist, literary agent, acquisitions editor, and ghostwriter. She has worked over the years on 50 New York Times bestsellers.

Kathleen is the founder and CEO of Kathleen Schmidt Public Relations, and her Substack newsletter, Publishing Confidential, is an excellent resource where she shares her wealth of inside knowledge and makes efforts to demystify the book business.
