It’s another throwback episode! A few years ago, we sat down with sales rep extraordinaire Kurtis to talk about how reps get books into stores. Learn about cover appeal, sales conferences, how store buyers see the books… and that’s just the first five minutes. It’s an oldie, but an eternally useful goodie of an episode!

Watch the clip below, and catch the full episode on the blog: https://microcosmpublishing.com/blog/2025/01/how-do-books-get-into-bookstores-w-kurtis-lowe-a-peoples-guide-to-publishing/

This week, we pretend we’re one of those “hang out and chat about whatever” podcasts, because it’s time for Dr. Faith’s long-awaited return to the pod!

Join The Intimacy Dr., Joe, and Elly while they answer reader questions, talk about Dr. Faith’s upcoming books, surviving the holidays, and more. There are always shenanigans when Dr. Faith comes around, so we hope you have as much fun as we did.
