This is our final bonus episode of Your Breakout Book, where I’m revisiting interviews with some of the most knowledgeable and encouraging publishing pros. Here to round out our replays is none other than Kaye Publicity’s marketing and events coordinator, Hailey Dezort.Hailey received her B.A. in English and a minor in Anthropology from Loyola University of Chicago. Before joining Kaye Publicity, she was a digital content creator for two interior design companies, as well as a marketing intern with Chicago Humanities Festival and Open Letter Books. When she’s not helping our clients grow their online following or pitching social influeners, she posts on her own bookstagram account @hayhails.Earlier this year, Hailey delivered a workshop to Your Breakout Book members to help them improve (or just get started on) their influencer outreach. After the workshop, several members successfully secured #bookstragram and book-tube features for their books.If you’re ready to take action with the help of a trusted guide and savvy community of authors, I encourage you to join us in Your Breakout Book. Book promotion can feel frustrating, confusing, and overwhelming. As a book publicist, I know first-hand how challenging it can be to keep up with industry trends, the latest social media platform, not to mention carving out time to create content. That’s why I created Your Breakout Book; to provide a one-stop-shop for everything you need to successfully launch your book. Your membership includes a library of trainings, tutorials, and templates, monthly live trainings and roundtable discussions, the opportunity to be paired with an accountability, and most importantly, a community of savvy authors ready to share their knowledge and experience.Visit kayepublicity.com/yourbreakoutbook to get started.
This week's episode covers a lot of ground, from disturbing American racism circa 1917 to codswallop; from werewolves to parliamentary fights, from ghosts to crime/heist narratives. It's a really fun episode that has a good take on this section of the book mixed with some really fun segues and digressions. The next episode will focus on pages 303-344 (to the end of the second volume of the trilogy, "Iceland's Thousand Years"). The complete schedule can be found here. Follow Open Letter, Chad Post, and Brian Wood for more thoughts on Sjón and literature in general, and for information about upcoming guests.

From Tarkovsky to Jessica Jones, this week's episode covers a lot of ground. Anthony and Chad are joined by Hailey Dezort to walk through the first three chapters of Antoine Volodine's Radiant Terminus. There's a lot to unpack, from the plant names, to the nature of men, to horrible fathers, to the humor found in Gramma Ugdul talking to the core of a failed nuclear reactor. Given how plotted this novel is, you can definitely follow along, even if you haven't read the section yet. Also, we get to find out who Hailey thinks Khrili Gompo is, and we officially changed this season's contest: Whoever sends in the best drawing of one of the imaginary plants found in Radiant Terminus will receive copies of both of his previous published Open Letter titles AND all forthcoming ones. If you want to get one of these t-shirts, email Open Letter and let us know! As always, you can watch these episodes live on our YouTube channel the day before they’re released in podcast form. The next episode will be recorded live the evening of Wednesday, February 6th. You can also get 30% off Radiant Terminus, or any other Volodine book, by using the code VOLODINE at checkout from the Open Letter website. (Offer is only good until midnight Eastern on 1/31.) Feel free to comment on this episode—or on the book in general—either on this post, or at the official GoodReads Group. Follow Open Letter, Chad Post, Brian Wood, Anthony Blake, and Hailey Dezort for more thoughts on Volodine and literature in general, and for information about upcoming guests.

This season's music is all from Mother Earth's Plantasia by Mort Garson, which is Moog music for plants. This week you can hear "Symphony for a Spider Plant." (A very Volodine title.)
