The Launch Box 3: Subrights, Ingram Spark & Burnout
+ depressed cats
Happy almost Thanksgiving week! We’re back with another episode of The Launch Box, which I hope you’re enjoying. If you’re a person who likes to keep your expectations well managed, I anticipate that before 2021 is out, there will be one more regular interview episode of the pod and one more Launch Box.
In this episode, Sara helps cast the audiobook of A Song Called Home, Andrew gets a movie option for The Temps, Sara learns more about Ingram Spark for self-publishing, and we both write letters to booksellers hoping to endear them to us. Also, everyone is burned out, including Andrew's cat.
Find it wherever you get podcasts, or listen directly right here.

From the archives: I forgot to put this in the email version of this post, but in honor of Malinda Lo’s National Book Award **win** this week, I’ve unlocked my 2015 conversation with her, back when we all still had tumblr!
