Ep. 33 Publishing is Hard for Publishers Too (Season 4 Early Release Episode)
from You, Me, and the Writing Journey Podcast · host Danielle Render Turmaud, PhD
The past few months in the publishing industry have been ROUGH. From imprint and publisher closures, to dozens of editors being let go, agents resigning, longer wait times and silence for creators who are querying/on submission, and more, many in the writing community are feeling discouraged. Because of this, we are releasing two very special Season 4 episodes early (before the full Season 4 release) in hopes that they will encourage you! In this first pre-release episode, Jon Seymour (Publisher with Tielmour Press) and Host Danielle Render Turmaud, discuss the realities and challenges that publishers face.
