The Hot Sheet is an email newsletter for professional authors delivered every two weeks. It’s modeled on the financial-advice newsletters that Wall Street types read, and the Publishers Lunch newsletter that many book publishing professionals receive.
Or, as agent Michael Larsen has said, “The Hot Sheet is like The Economist for publishing, only easier to read.”
Continuously published since 2015, the purpose of The Hot Sheet is to provide top-grade publishing industry analysis to authors (both traditional and self-published), freelance editors and writers, as well as those serving writers and publishers—such as literary agents and ghostwriters.
What’s made The Hot Sheet so popular are these key features:
- Unbiased coverage and perspective: The Hot Sheet is unattached to any publishing company, advocacy organization, or nonprofit. It provides a 360-degree perspective on issues affecting authors and helps you understand different points of view in the industry.
- Drama free: Social media and comment threads can be an emotionally charged center of opinion. The Hot Sheet provides analysis, not judgments.
- Efficiency: Our editors subscribe to all the key publications, blogs, newsletters, and industry reports. We select the most significant information—that has the potential to affect your career or decision-making process—and break it down into meaningful takeaways. Get the right information fast, then get back to writing.
- Original reporting: Our writers investigate issues of importance to authors and write about trends not covered by other publications. Industry pros, such as agents, subscribe to us so they can be well-informed on behalf of their clients.
