Real Talk Publishing: Rachel Fershleiser, Part 3

A lot of you are probably familiar with Tumblr --- that social media website where you can engage in your favorite fandoms, share images, stories, memes and quotes and connect with people from across the globe.

One of the cool things about Tumblr is that it has a HUGE book presence, including authors, readers, publishers, bookstores and everything in between. You can connect in Tumblr’s book club, share photos of your favorite-book-inspired manicure or participate in genuine discussions with authors about your favorite (or least favorite) character.

And even cooler still, it’s someone’s JOB to make sure that all of this “book content” runs smoothly. We talked to that person --- officially called the Head of Publisher Outreach --- for our latest Real Talk Publishing interview, and we couldn’t be more excited to share this super modern, ever-changing and fun part of the business.

Read the third part of our interview with Rachel Fershleiser, below, to learn why she is such a huge proponent of the "Bookternet," her favorite books growing up and her predictions for the future of publishing. And if you missed them, click here to read Part 1 of the interview, and here to read Part 2!

Late May 2015

Hi Teenreaders,

I always love to ask an author about his or her writing process because it’s so intensely personal. Some compose a rigid outline before they begin page one, and others just dive right into the manuscript, trusting their characters to lead the way. Some only write in the wee hours of the morning or at their favorite coffee shop or while disconnected from the internet, while still others write five-page biographies for each character or create bulletin boards of images that evoke the mood of their fictional world. And from all of my conversations, no two authors do it the same way.

And this has always made me wonder --- how on earth do authors write books together? I am curious because more and more books on the market aren’t just by Awesome Author X or Amazing Writer Y --- they’re by Awesome Author X and Amazing Writer Y --- two authors with one concept, one set of characters, one climax.
