  • 18.21: The Empathy Gap: How to Understand What Your Publisher is Telling You
    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:Lavender House by Lev AC RosenMentioned Links:“The Empathy Gap” by DongWon SongMunchkin Starfinder Credits: Your hosts for this episode were Mary Robinette Kowal, DongWon Song, Erin Roberts, Dan Wells, and Howard Tayler.
