How do you become a published author, anyway? with Jennie Godfrey

How do you get published if you don’t know anyone in publishing? What makes an editor fall in love with a manuscript? Should authors listen to every piece of feedback they receive? And how much do writers really need to promote their own books?

This week on Ask Penguin, Rhianna brings together bestselling author Jennie Godfrey, author of The List of Suspicious Things, editor Kaiya Shang and publicist Charlotte Bush to answer some of your biggest questions about getting a book published.

Together they reveal what really happens behind the scenes, from finding an agent and pitching a manuscript to editing, publicity and building a community of readers. Plus, Meredith Adams joins us to explain how Penguin is opening up the publishing process to writers from all backgrounds.
