    Ep. 48 - Writing for the Fandom ft. Daevastanner (@ReadTheseFics)

    Do you read fanfic? Have you ever wondered what goes on in the mind of a fanfic writer? How do fanfic writers stay close to cannon while also providing such interesting stories that we wish existed? What draws fanfiction writers to certain fandoms and series? Well you are in luck! I sat down with Izzy (Daevastanner on AO3) who has written several fanfiction pieces. Most of her writing is within the world of ACOTAR by Sarah J Maas with a few other fandoms thrown in!

    Ep. 45 - The Art of Translation ft. Open Letter Books

    Did you know less than 3% of books are translated into English? That not including text books and things, that number is actually closer to 600 books? Total. I was blown away by this in today's discussion with Chad Post. Chad is the publisher at Open Letter, the University of Rochester's nonprofit, literary translation press, and is one of only a handful of publishing houses dedicated to increasing access to world literature for English readers. Chad talks all about why we don't see very many translated works these days, what causes a spike in translated works, other interesting trends!   This episode is sponsored by Audible!

    Ep. 41 - Editing Best Sellers ft. Maria Gomez from Amazon Publishing

    What does an editor actually do? How do they help our favorite books come to our bookshelves? Are there any real quality checks when publishing books? Are publishing houses anything like the show Younger? If you have asked yourself any of these questions, you will love my guest today! I got to sit down with Maria Gomez, editor at Montlake (an imprint of Amazon Publishing) to discuss all things editing! From if the table filled with manuscripts exist to how publishing is so subjective to the timelines many of her books are on!
