Episode Notes

Caroline Walker joins me in this interview to talk about a well known literary press in Canada, Thistledown Press which is based in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.  Caroline has had a rich and diverse career in the publishing world and she became the Managing Editor at Thistledown in October 2020.  

We talk about the kinds of books Thistledown publishes, how they work with book agents and also  take manuscripts directly from authors. Thistledown sells its books through the University of Toronto Press. Like all publishers in this COVID period, Thistledown has had to look at how to launch and market books without live events, but hopefully that will change soon.  

Listen in as we hear another perspective on how authors should carefully choose the publishers they approach by doing their homework first to find the best fit!
