How a Book Gets Made from Start to Finish with Ashley Imanë Fields

From acquisitions all the way to publication and beyond, Ashley Imanë Fields walks us through the process at Freedom Fire, a new imprint at Disney Hyperion dedicated to stories about Black Joy, Black Resilience, and Black Storytelling.

Topics discussed include:

• The acquisitions process (editorial, sales, and more)
• How editors advocate for books within their imprints
• What it's like to establish a new imprint within a company as expansive as Disney

Thanks Ash for joining us!
