YA author Sarah Enni's podcast First Draft has shared more than 240 conversations with authors. We're excited to announce her latest venture: Track Changes, a First Draft miniseries that aims to demystify book publishing, debuting on April 16th. Over nine episodes, Track Changes answers the surprisingly complex question: How does a book get published? The U.S. book publishing industry is full of idiosyncrasies and traditions, as debut author Jennifer de Leon quickly learns. We follow Jennifer as she navigates the ups and downs leading to the release of her YA novel, Don't Ask Me Where I'm From. With the insight, curiosity, and matter-of-factness that listeners of First Draft have come to expect, host Sarah Enni talks to professionals at all stages of the publishing process—from agents and editors to publicity and marketing professionals and more—to give listeners the information they need to be more knowledgeable and prepared professional writers.
The series will take the listener on a 360-degree tour of the publishing process, providing context and human voices for every step. Aspiring authors, professional writers, and industry vets alike will have a renewed respect and appreciation for the industry—and, hopefully, some ideas about how to make it better.
Among the publishing professionals to be featured are: Holly Root, founder of Root Literary; Jo Volpe, founder of New Leaf Literary & Media; Sarah Burnes and Seth Fishman, both with The Gernert Company; Katherine Tegen, publisher with Katherine Tegen Books at HarperCollins; Stacey Barney, senior editor at Penguin/Putnam Books for Young Readers; Kate Sullivan, former senior editor at Delacourt and currently senior content development manager at New Leaf Literary & Media; Margot Wood, founder of Epic Reads at HarperCollins and director of sales and marketing at Oni Press; Nikki Pierce, co-founder of Method Agency, a boutique branding and marketing agency.
