Mind The Gap: Diversifying the Field (AmpLit Fest 2016)
See me, previous MiP guest Zareen Jaffery, @bindercon‘s Leigh Stein, and Lambda Literary’s William Johnson at AmpLitFest’s panel in June. It was a great time and a great discussion. Thanks for those pointed questions, Clare!
“One of the biggest misconceptions is if your book isn’t a bestseller than it’s a total failure. And I think that the media your book gets can still reach your target readers, your target audience.” –Stephanie Jimenez
As publicist Stephanie Jimenez mentioned at the “Realities of Publishing” panel the goal is to find your audience, not necessarily to make a billion dollars. Right? Right???
“You can never underestimate the working relationship you have with your editor and making sure that both of you are on the same page with what kind of book you have.” –Diana Pho aka @beyondvictoriana
“Authors tend to look at publishers as having all of the answers and a lot of times they don’t. So as much input that can come from the author about, what is your vision for the cover, where do you see this book selling, what is your audience profile, as much information you can provide the publisher is awesome.” –Todd Hunter
During the “Realities of Publishing” panel at @bookcourtpodcasts-blog editor Todd Hunter mentioned the relationship between publishers and authors in terms of each having their own set of information that can prove to be mutually beneficial.
Join Sackett Street for our June event at BookCourt Bookstore on Monday, June 27th, 7pm for the “Realities of Publishing” Panel with Connor Goldsmith (literary agent, @fuseliterary), Ebony LaDelle (marketing manager, @simonandschusterbooks), Diana Pho (associate editor, @torbooks), Stephanie Jimenez (associate publicist, @riverheadbooks), @minoritiesinpublishing‘s Jennifer Baker, and Todd Hunter (editor, @atriabooks-blog)
