Hurdles in the Publishing Process Made Clear
Hey there Writers and Muse Daters, are you curious about the complexities of the publishing process? In this episode, Annalisa speaks with Jenny Baumgartner, the Senior Acquisitions Editor at Nelson Books, a division of HarperCollins Christian Publishing about what you might encounter when publishing. Jenny’s been in Christian publishing since 1998 and has edited both nonfiction and fiction, partnering with many award-winning and New York Times bestselling authors, including the #1 New York Times bestseller, Girl, Wash Your Face by Rachel Hollis and the newly released A Serial Killer’s Daughter by Kerri Rawson.

- How to work with multiple editors to get your book to New York Times Bestseller status
- How to support fellow authors by buying books
