Hello, dear reader friends! I hope you are discovering some great stories in your reading hours 😉
My bookish question this week relates to my blog content. You may recall I did a two part interview with the fabulous Kirsten Vasgaard, Art Director at HarperCollins Christian Publishing (Thomas Nelson & Zondervan). If you haven’t read her fascinating insights, you can read her posts, here and here! I love all things related to books so I really enjoyed learning more about cover art and the detailed process from Kristen, so I was wondering if you did, too. I’m thinking of interviewing a few more wonderful people who, from a reader’s point of view, are behind the scenes but from their perspective, are at the coal face. So, people like an editor, publicist, agent, etc. So, my question is this:
I loved that interview! It was interesting and insightful :). I’d like to read interviews from all the people you listed, so yes please! 🙂
Thanks Jamie! I’m on it 😉
Yes, I find the ‘behind the scenes’ information very interesting. Hearing about all people and the process it takes to get the book from the author to the bookshelf intrigues me.
Appreciate your response, Amy – thanks!
Having worked as an editor, I love reading these types of blogs. I was surprised at the many different types of editors for books and the many editorial stages each book goes through before being released.
You’ve had quite the career, haven’t you, Aaron?! Thanks
I have been truly blessed! Thank you, Rel.
Yes Love learning how a book comes together and the behind the scenes stories.
Okey dokey, Jenny!
Yes, YEs, YES! Please.
Marvellous idea, Rel. Can’t wait.
Love your enthusiasm, Ian 🙂 First interview has been sent!
Yes! I’m with you – I enjoy learning about every step in publishing a book. I’m sorry I missed the previous interviews and I will definitely be going back and reading those! I’m fascinated by everything that goes into getting a book ready for the shelves. 🙂
Good to hear, Sarah – glad I’m not the only one!
As a writer with my online writing friends at the cover stage of the publishing game, I think these interviews would be interesting both from the writer and reader perspective.
If you post them, I commit to sharing them widely among my writing friends.
Thanks Sherrey ~ hoping they will be insightful for you and your friends.
Love the behind-the-scenes stuff, Rel! Go for it. And thank you. 🙂
Gotcha! Thanks, Sally 🙂
Yes! Yes, yes please! Those are such interesting interviews to read. And we learn such fascinating things. 🙂
Yay, Kara – I’m excited you love them, too.
I tend to get into interviews after I’m familiar with the author.
