Are you currently on submission? Have you ever wondered what the acquisitions process is really like? If so, chapter fifty-one of Literary Blend is for you. Jamie Ryu, a former editorial assistant at Macmillan and HarperCollins, joined me on the show to chat all about this mysterious stage in the publishing process. From editors evaluating submissions to offers of publication, we covered each step of a book’s acquisitions journey. I truly can’t thank Jamie enough for sharing her knowledge and insights. This chapter is a priceless peek behind the curtain at what actually goes on at traditional publishing houses when books are being considered for publication.

Are you enjoying Literary Blend? Do you have a topic suggestion for a chapter? Would you like to be a guest on the show? I would love to hear from you.
