“Sometimes our own stories get snatched from us, hidden in darkness for years,” writes podcast guest Salwa Emerson, “until it's time to reclaim them.” Salwa is well-known to publishers as an author, editor and ghostwriter, specializing in memoirs, thought-leadership books, and book proposals. To hear her clients tell it, she has a way of bringing those stories out of hiding and into the light. She has collaborated with world-renowned chefs, professional athletes, reality television personalities, Oscar-winning actors, and Pulitzer Prize winners. Before turning to ghostwriting, she worked on the other side of the desk, for publishers such as St. Martin's Press and DK Publishing. Her most recent publication—The Conservative Environmentalist: Common Sense Solutions for a Sustainable Future, written with environmentalist Benji Backer—was hailed by former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger prior to publication as “an essential read that shows how protecting our natural resources and advancing America's national interests are mutually reinforcing goals.” Join us as Salwa shares her thoughts on helping to find an author's “voice”, the three clauses all ghostwriters should have in their contracts, and the best ways to engage with readers, fellow writers and potential clients.

On this episode of You Are What You Read, we are diving into a conversation about publishing with someone at the top of the game, the former publisher and CEO of Macmillan, John Sargent. Before he was a leader in the world of books, John was raised on a ranch in Wyoming. He worked at three different publishers before going to Simon and Schuster to run the children's book division at the age of twenty-nine. He spent six years there, followed by three years as the CEO of DK Publishing. In 1996, he went to work as the CEO of St Martin's Press. Three years later, he was put in charge of Holtzbrinck's US publishers and was responsible for forming the company that is today's Macmillan. He worked there as CEO until the end of 2020. All of this is chronicled in John's memoir, Turning Pages, which we discuss in this episode. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

She is benevolent and nurturing, yet fierce and terrible, a warrior and a lover. She creates and gives life, is death personified, and the one who grants eternal salvation. She is the ultimate form of reality, the cosmos. As the Saundaryalahiri says, "Only when Shiva joins with you, O Shakti, can he exert his powers as lord, on his own he has not even the power to stir. You are worshipped by Shiva, Vishnu, Brahma, and other gods. How dare I, meritless mortal, offer you reverence and praise?" The Goddess inspires deep devotion and it is not surprising to see Her being worshipped and revered across homes in India. Nilima Chitgopekar's Shakti (DK Publishing, 2022) will delve into this rich tradition of the Divine Feminine as She is represented across India and the subcontinent. Shakti will be a one-of-a-kind linear exploration of Goddess worship, neither a basic guide nor a dense academic treatise. Instead, it will invite the reader to learn about the Shakta culture, while telling the story of its birth and evolution, the many manifestations of the Goddess and their worship, and the myths, legends, and rituals that make up the tradition. This title will position itself as the first point of entry for anyone interested in the world of the Devi and Her culture. Raj Balkaran is a scholar of Sanskrit narrative texts. He teaches at the Oxford Centre for Hindu Studies and at his own virtual School of Indian Wisdom. For information see rajbalkaran.com. Learn more about your ad choices.

On this episode, we're joined by Allie Singer. Allie is a senior editor for special projects at Time Magazine for Kids with previous stops at Scholastic and DK Publishing. Allie and I are both graduates of The College of New Jersey. I'm class of 1997. She's class of 2009.Allie talked about the moment that changed her aspirations from a career in teaching to one in editing and journalism. She explained her role at Time and how she works on stories and podcasts with kid reporters (like an interview with the Surgeon General about kids' mental health). She also explained the process by which Time takes a topic like the Russian invasion of Ukraine or presidential impeachment and produces content suitable for children age 5 to 12.She also explained how sometimes it's ok to break the rules of editing, particularly when dealing with work read by kids – and she saluted both a journalism organization doing good work and an editor of note.We'll be doing interviews with women in journalism throughout March. Hope you'll keep tuning in. Please reach out to us at journalismsalute@gmail.com and let us know what you think.

Hello Friends! I had a few people request by email that we release the entirety of my interview with David French (The Dispatch) for the recent episode on dismantling the Death Star threat of our politics + David's new book “Divided We Fall”So…you can stream that right here (above)First, I loved the book. It's written for anyone left, right or center and is even-handed in describing the problem we face and the upside of David's solution to every faction. But he is clear-eyed about the risks and the likelihood we can achieve what he's described. You really should pick this book up. The good people at DK Publishing were kind enough to send me a copy of the new “Star Wars Book” which is a comprehensive yet compact guide to the Star Wars universe. This is distinct from Star Wars guides of the past where it's all alphabetical and breaking down everything from Darth Vader's mask mechanics to how a Stormtrooper blaster works…The Star Wars Book breaks down timelines, politics, government, eras and turning points in Star Wars lore like I've ever seen before. It's a MUST have for all Star Wars fans. I joined The Living Force Podcast & Youtube show this week to talk about REGIME change in Star Wars + the 2020 election and we break down what's so great about this book at (16:00)—— It's me, Stephen Kent! I'm the curator of Politicize Me, host of the Beltway Banthas Podcast forthcoming author of ‘How The Force Can Fix The World' (Hachette-Center Street). You can follow me on Twitter @Stephen_Kent89.
