• On the Lit Hub Podcast: Publishers Marketplace 101, Maris Kreizman Burns It Down, and More

    Featuring Erin Somers, Jonny Diamond, Maris Kreizman, James Folta, and Drew Broussard

    A weekly behind-the-scenes dive into everything interesting, dynamic, strange, and wonderful happening in literary culture—featuring Lit Hub staff, columnists, and special guests! Hosted by Drew Broussard.

    Drew’s been working on (gasp) a novel and it seems to be going well (because saying so certainly won’t jinx it) so this week is a bit of writer-work-focused!

    Kicking off with a shout to Ursula K. Le Guin’s Steering the Craft, we are then joined by Erin Somers (author of Stay Up with Hugo Best and the forthcoming The Ten Year Affair but also a reporter & editor at Publishers Lunch) to explain the one-stop-publishing-shop that is Publishers Marketplace—you know, with the deal announcements you see your writer-friends posting on Instagram?

    Then, an excerpt of Jonny Diamond’s conversation with Maris Kriezman on the last stop of Maris’s book tour for I Want to Burn This Place Down, recorded live at the Northern Spy Reading Series at Left Bank Ciders in Catskill, NY. And finally, James Folta pops in with a quick update on why more than half of the longlisted authors have withdrawn from this year’s Polari Prize.
