Bookseller Sara Glassman joined us at the Out of Excuses Workshop and Retreat to talk to us about her perspective on this industry, with an eye to the things that make it easy for her to put a book in a customer's hands. We talk about back cover copy, covers, query letters, signings, and what booksellers look for on page one. (Note: Brandon refers to a book of the week pitch that Sara made for us. We needed to run this episode out of order, so you'll get Sara's pitch for that book sometime next year.)
