How book publishing has changed in the attention economy (PM+)

The release of Planet Money's new book is almost here! You can find the first episode in our series on making the book in the feed now. In today's bonus episode, we're going to hear more from Tom Mayer, an executive editor at W.W. Norton. (Norton and several other publishers are financial supporters of NPR.) In this conversation with Alexi Horowitz-Ghazi, Tom shares additional insights from his 20-plus years in publishing—including the role of the slush pile in finding new authors, a different way to think about book agents, and the three moments he finds most gratifying as an editor.
