[BONUS] Interview with Jane Friedman of The Hot Sheet

\This is our second bonus episode of Your Breakout Book, where I’m revisiting interviews with some of the most knowledgeable and encouraging publishing pros. Today, I’m thrilled to re-introduce Jane Friedman. If you were to ask Jane to introduce herself, she’d tell you, “She’s just someone who knows WAY too much about publishing.” Which is true! But Jane is also the author of THE BUSINESS OF BEING A WRITER*, now available form University of Chicago press, the co-creator of The Hot Sheet, a publishing newsletter aimed at professional authors, and a longtime blogger at JaneFriedman.com.

This interview was conducted a couple years ago, so some of the stats may no longer be accurate, but many of the trends Jane describes are ones we’re still seeing today.
