Weekend Thread: Book Therapy

Your chance to ask me anything about book publishing.

Confidantes,

Welcome to the Book Therapy thread!

First, my thoughts are with those in the LA area impacted by the fires. Secondly, thank you for being patient as I recovered from the flu. I still have a cough, but the worst part is behind me.

This community is for paid subscribers, and the goal is to create a safe space where you can ask questions about the publishing industry/process, book publicity, and marketing. It’s also a space where you can share what you’re worried about in book publishing.

Please post your questions in the comments, and I will answer them throughout the day & weekend.

Some rules:

-I cannot answer questions via email. Please post your questions in the comments. You'll need to be a paid subscriber to do so.

-Be respectful to me and others. Everyone’s experience is different. Be kind. Unkind comments will not be tolerated.

-If I don’t know the answer, I will tell you and try to provide a resource where you might find it.

-Please don’t use the comments to self-promote. That’s not what this thread is about.

-There’s no such thing as a stupid question. We don’t know what we don’t know!

-Please be patient. I’ll pop in and out to answer you.

-The more context you provide, the better response I can give you.

-Please allow me the weekend to answer your questions.

-Try to limit your questions to one comment so I can keep track of them and be fair to others with questions.

-I have the least experience in YA and kid’s books, so I don’t feel comfortable advising that territory.

-This is a community effort, so others may chime in with their own knowledge.

Ready? Go!

-Kathleen
