Unlocking Publisher Secrets

A Conversation with an Acquisitions Editor

Earlier this month book-marketing expert Chad Cannon and I jumped on a video call to have a no-holds-barred conversation about all things publishing. Here are just some of the questions we covered:

  • Tell us about the role of an acquisitions editor.
  • What do you look for when you pursue an author or a project? 
  • What are the top three most important things that you’re looking for in a book proposal?
  • What’s your take on the benefits and role of self-publishing?
  • Do you make acquisitions decisions based more on intuition, data, writing, or platform?
  • How can an author put him/herself on agents’ radar and get them interested?

Cannon transcribed the call, curated it, and did a great job of highlighting the best parts of our talk.
