From the first feedback to the final copyedits, navigating literary publishing can be especially harrowing when your story doesn’t fit the industry’s narrow bookshelf. Kaitlyn Greenidge and Mira Jacob discuss their combined 30+ years of experience, as well as the strategies they’ve employed to stay sane and keep writing. YouTube
