The relationship between a writer and a publisher is… one that isn’t talked about enough. So we made an episode about rejection letters, email etiquette, and empathy. As a writer, how do you talk with a publisher? Well, luckily we have someone who knows all about the publishing world because they’re an agent at a large publishing house. DongWon offers advice on how to interact with publishers from the perspective of someone on the industry side. (If you’re new here: DongWon Song is an agent at Howard Morhaim Literary Agency.) Then, we hear about our hosts’ experiences with rejection (spoiler alert: there’s been a lot.) Homework:Write a professional and kind rejection letter for a piece you like.Thing of the Week:<a href="https://www.levacrosen.com/lavender-house" rel="nofollow">Lavender House by Lev AC Rosen</a>Mentioned Links:<a href="https://www.publishingishard.com/the-empathy-gap/" rel="nofollow">“The Empathy Gap” by DongWon Song</a><a href="https://munchkin.game/site-munchkin/assets/files/3025/starfinder-i-want-it-all-box-back.jpg" rel="nofollow">Munchkin Starfinder </a>Credits: Your hosts for this episode were Mary Robinette Kowal, DongWon Song, Erin Roberts, Dan Wells, and Howard Tayler.
