“If I'm being honest, half the books we publish each season are just because someone at the acquisitions meeting knew someone who knew someone. The debut novelist with the MFA from Iowa and the perfect query letter? Their manuscript is in a pile with 4,000 others. The celebrity's ghost-written memoir about their skincare journey? That's getting a six-figure advance and a 20-city tour.”
