Season 3, Episode 3: What the Big 5 Don’t Tell You ft. Jeremy Szal
A contract with one of the five big publishing companies means placement in bookstores and libraries, reviews in major publications, award nominations, and a huge advance—even a chance to get on the bestsellers list. But is this actually the case? Joining us to talk about how the sausage gets made is Jeremy Szal, author of the Common Trilogy.
Show Notes:
- Jeremy’s website
- Follow him on:

- Are there more libraries or McDonald’s?
- Author (and professional chef) Rohan O’Duill trying out one of the recipes from the Sad Bastard Cookbook
