Ep. 41 - Editing Best Sellers ft. Maria Gomez from Amazon Publishing

What does an editor actually do? How do they help our favorite books come to our bookshelves? Are there any real quality checks when publishing books? Are publishing houses anything like the show Younger? If you have asked yourself any of these questions, you will love my guest today! I got to sit down with Maria Gomez, editor at Montlake (an imprint of Amazon Publishing) to discuss all things editing! From if the table filled with manuscripts exist to how publishing is so subjective to the timelines many of her books are on! It was a fantastic discussion and I loved hearing about this side of the literary industry!
