A great listen for anyone interested in the publishing game in its current iteration. I speak with the Editorial Director of Lake Union, an imprint of Amazon that publishes more than 80 titles a year, generating more than $40 million in yearly revenue. In her influential capacity, Danielle as been responsible for some of the biggest success stories at her firm.
We discuss the evolution of book publishing, expectation versus reality in terms of what happens when your book get published, and then we talk about the interesting stuff. Why you should or should not write.
And how shame, fear and celebrity worship hold people back from creating in their own lives.
