Find the Write Path for Your Book

Every author takes their book on a unique journey through the publishing world. This episode, guests Kevin Washburn and Isaiah Taylor, provide a rare behind-the-scenes glimpse at how books make their way from manuscript to publication. They discuss the intricate process of selecting authors and titles for publication, the collaborative relationship between authors and publishers, and the importance of fitting the right publisher with the right author.

It takes time for authors to find the right publishing path. Part of that is because of the importance of aligning an author's vision with the publisher's ethos. That was true for Kevin Washburn's journey to publishing his book "Uprise". He originally struggled to find a home for his work, which emphasizes the need for resilience. His eventual partnership with Morgan James Publishing highlights how important it is for authors to find a publisher that not only believes in their idea but also aligns with their message and audience.

The role of the literary scout/acquisitions editor can influence the publishing process for authors. Isaiah Taylor spoke about his role in championing books that serve the reader and support the author's vision. His approach is not just about the content but also the author's intent and ability to engage with their audience. There are many unseen efforts that go into the decision-making process of what books get published.
