why the publishing industry isn’t interested in publishing GOOD books…from an ex publishing employee

It's much more focused onthe main character, this queen, and her history and just her being a badass andalso the female characters in the book and the friendships there. And it's sogratifying to know that I can carve a space for this book to get it out intothe world and get it to the people who will actually enjoy it.

This was one of the manuscripts that I read within the first, I would say, 6 months. And this was quite literally the book that blew me away. And I remember reading this book and thinking, "Oh my god, this is so good. How has this not been scooped up by another publisheryet?"
