add this to your ~get rich~ vision board

It’s a specific flavor of mouthwatering to have a newly successful author let loose on how they got actually rich from actually writing, about how much money was involved, and how good it all feels, which is why we’re bumping this interview with Jessica Knoll from The Cut last week.

As arbitrary and mysterious and exclusionary as the workings of the media industry are, the whole book publishing game has always been more so — which is why it feels so good to get a lil peek behind the curtain of how Knoll promoted her book (apparently, getting a good thumbs up from The Skimm is where it’s at, and also it never hurts to send macarons) and a bit about how royalties and rights work. It’s delicious!

Bookmark it, print it out, and pin it to your vision board with a photo of a Porsche to drive your trophy husband around in (or not). Now get cracking on that manuscript! We know you have one.
