In March, we learned that a handful of book publishing veterans, including Madeline McIntosh, the former chief executive of Penguin Random House, and Robin Desser, previously editor-in-chief of Random House and editorial director at Knopf, were launching their own publisher, called Authors Equity.
Recently Kickstarter announced a call for romance authors for a July project. It seems they are taking steps to invite more authors towards self publishing.
THIS, THIS, THIS! "I’ve spent the last sixteen years basically doing this on repeat, like an animal: oh, X is irrelevant now? I’ll learn Y! Nobody is interested in Y anymore? I’ll teach myself Z!"
I feel seen. We are constantly pivoting, and it can be hard.

Will definitely check out the girlboss podcast episode. There's a good interview with Sloane at Meghan Daum's Unspeakable podcast.
That podcast episode is what led me to buy the book! :)

I'm so excited to read Sloane's book! Congrats on the podcast appearance, can't wait to listen!
I just took grief is for people out of my local library! I’m very excited to start reading, especially during my own season of grieving
Grief is For People is spectacular. I’d also recommend Cult Classic, Sloane’s fiction novel — it’s brilliant!
