113. REPLAY: Shifts in the Publishing Industry with Jane Friedman

Welcome, Jane.

Thanks for having me, Nicole.

Glad to be here.

I'm so happy you're here.

And truth be told, when I met with my writers group a few nights ago, I said, well, I'm going to have Jane on the podcast.

And they all just shot a million questions at me.

Because you really are, I know that people gush about you all the time.

I'll gush a little bit for you.

But you know, you are our resource.

I mean, you really are.

You have your finger on the pulse and you're the reason that we know what's going on in the industry.

Because as a creative, as a writer, it's really hard to keep up with everything all at once.

And so thank you for doing that for us.

Yeah, it's hard even for me to keep up.

So I can't even imagine the individual writer navigating at all.

Well, this is a beautiful segue to my first question for you.
