Comments Section
- julesrichardsonreads: Hi there! What is a good first step for creators who are interested in someday having their own imprint?
- jaidaphilo: Hi Jananie! I was wondering as an influencer with their own imprint, how do you go through the process of accepting certain books? What makes a book stand out for you and does that lead to you creating a niche within your imprint? Love your content 🫶🏾
- winterchild85: Hi How do you choose which book will be publish and author?
- RenReadsAlot: What does the process of choosing your books look like? Do you receive lots of query’s? How do you find authors or how do authors find you?
- ChantelD: Hey. I want to share if not too personal how you balance your mental health and running your imprint as someone who also has bipolar disorder and is entering publishing as editor. Also I'd love to know how Bindery overall supports new voices and marginalized authors in publicity and marketing or is the imprint influencer wholly responsible for marketing? Lastly, what has been your biggest surprise since launching your imprint?
- Mantagray: Kris who is an author Bindery published talks about this some on her vlog YouTube Link
- YannaAkin: What are some things you look for when deciding which books you want to publish through your imprint? Is it largely a gut feeling? Or do you have a rubric of stylistic/technical devices in the writing/plot that you look for?
- MzTaraLN76: Hi Jananie! When a writer sends you their query letter, are you looking at what comps they have listed or are you more interested in the plot of their story? Do the comps weigh in on how interested you are in publishing as part of your imprint? Thank you!
- LovingBooks: Hello! Thank you for your platform on Bindery. The question that comes to mind for me: Bindery's founder wanted books published that otherwise would not have the opportunity. With that tenant in mind, do you believe BIPOC authors get an opportunity to see their stories uplifted with Bindery or is there still a lot of struggle in getting their work promoted?
... and more questions.
