Today's episode is with Amy Baxter, EIC and owner of Bad Form Review and Assistant Editor for Dialogue Books and a few other Hachette imprints. We talk frankly about the industry as it is and Amy's drive to change the things she finds issue with.
Amy offers practical advice for those wanting to make their start in publishing as well as those wanting to shift the problems and realities seen within the industry. She has had her fair share of failures and rejection but with a constant sense of wanting to do better, she has already reached a position that many aspire to. We talk about what it's like to balance working for a publisher in a mainly admin-centred role whilst also leading an innovative literary magazine trying to challenge the status quo. I hope you learn as much as I did from Amy. She's one to watch!
