We chat about the realities of doing events, launch parties and just walking into bookshops and asking to sign your books. A great episode for authors who are in the process of publishing and aren't sure how interfacing with booksellers works.

It's all marketing and PR this week as we get into the realities of it, talk about how different books get different budgets and the things that authors can do themselves to help spread the word about their books and themselves.

It's time to chat about editorial, the relationship between editor and author and how much power editors have over an author's manuscript.

PSA: Kesia Lupo is discussed in this episode who was previously an editor with Chicken House, she then became a literary agent in the US and after recording this she has actually returned to editorial in the UK (and Naomi has a new agent for her adult writing).
