Publishing Rodeo: The Good, The Bad, and the Bloody Ugly

Sunyi Dean

In 2022, two authors debuted in the same genre, with the same publisher, in the same year. Yet each of their books, and subsequently each of their careers, went in very different directions. That pattern repeats itself throughout the industry, over and over. Why does this happen, and what does it mean? more

  • More open-mindedness to other motivations for writing

    This is a podcast that does what it says on the tin - provide fantastic, no-punches-held exchange of information about the publishing industry. I think that is so valuable - especially when publishers hoard information and take advantage of the hope and emotional aspect of publishing, and don’t make the path to financial sustainability (if that’s what you seek via publishing) clear. more

  • Entertaining and Educational

    Happened upon this after finishing my first book, and it’s been a fascinating look inside the world of publishing. The hosts Sunyi and Scott are both published authors who share their own journeys and shine light on some of the ups and many of the downs that have come with being a published author. Very eye opening and entertaining!

  • Obsessed!

    I just discovered this podcast and have been binge listening any minute that I have away from work and kids. I really enjoy both hosts as well as their awesome guests. I also find it ***extremely*** refreshing that any time Scott starts talking at the same time as Sunyi or a female guest, he immediately stops and tells the woman to go ahead with her thought. My husband (one of the other 3 white men in the world who understands how not to interrupt a woman) reads Scott’s genre so I just bought Sc... more
