Really pleased I stumbled upon your newsletter Alia (via Laura on BSky). I'd love more book recommendations on navigating the publishing industry. (I'm an aspiring editor FWIW and so your outline of these roles is keenly interesting).

Shane, I am just seeing this! So I love the book MERCHANTS OF CULTURE, which is more of a sociological study than a guide, but it is excellent. Betsy Lerner's THE FOREST THROUGH THE TREES is a classic. You're going to love Laura's book!!
