I am freshly back from a hybrid business/holiday trip to NYC, and while jet lag is still making my life a low-key misery,1 I thought I’d share a little look behind the scenes at what happens when a traditionally published author goes to New York.
First of all, a little vocab lesson. Being traditionally published means that I have a publisher who I sell my books to and rely on for editorial, publicity, marketing, sales, and distribution support.2 Actually, I have two publishers: Gallery Books which does my historical novels like The Last Garden in England and Minotaur Books which publishes the Evelyne Redfern series. (This distinction will become important later!)
It’s also important to say that I lived in New York for about nine years before moving to London. I usually use these trips as an opportunity to have a few days of business bracketed by a few days of holiday during which I see friends and enjoy some things about the city that I miss. This trip was no different, and so I kicked it off with a mixture of business and pleasure.
