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.

Wow, we have reached chapter fifty of Literary Blend. Can you believe it? Time flies when we’re having fun, right? Well, the fun continues because Alexandria Faulkenbury joined me to chat about blurring the line between reality and fiction. We had such a fascinating conversation, from talking about exploring what it means to be human and crafting realistic characters and settings to discussing the advice to write what you know and much more. I loved having Alexandria on the show to cover this topic, so I hope you enjoy listening to our conversation and gain insight into how you can blend reality and fiction in your own writing.
