Watch this episode a full video episodeKesia Lupo is the commissioning editor at MacMillan Children's Books, as well as being a former agent and author of three YA books.We had a great chat with Kesia, learning about how she first got started in the publishing industry, and the differences between working for a smaller and larger publisher, and the impact that has on acquisition decisions. Plus, we discuss the differences in the US and UK markets, talk about the all-important query letter to agents, and hear about times that authors have pushed back against editing suggestions.NOTE: We know Marco's audio is bad on this one - he unwittingly used the wrong mic when recording - we have cleaned the audio up as much as we can, but fortunately you are here for Kesia, not him!Links:Follow Kesia on BlueskyVisit Kesia's Substack Hosted on Acast.
