Noteworthy quote from this episode:
“We focus on quality over quantity [...] Cheap is not a word I use. That, to me, diminishes the value of the story that people want to tell and the value of the book that they want to deliver. [...] a good publisher is going to help your book be successful, no matter your goals.”
