Former Writers Digest publisher Jane Friedman is one of the most respected voices in modern publishing. A writer herself, she is also a teacher, consultant and editor whose book Publishing 101 is considered to be the gold standard for anyone looking to learn the ins and outs of the publishing industry. The same can be said for her two newsletters, the Hot Sheet and Electric Speed. I sat down with her this week to talk about the industry, the challenges and opportunities in social media for writers and, of course, good bourbon. The new Open Mic is here!
