Note sull'episodio

In this episode of The Great Women Podcast, we’re joined by Laura Palmer and Jessie Sullivan, founders of Pellerin — the independent publishing house challenging the traditional publishing model and rethinking what long-term support for authors should look like.

They discuss why so many writers are failed by the industry’s “feast or famine” approach, how discoverability really works in the age of algorithms and shrinking bookshop space, and why building a readership is a marathon, not a three-month publicity window.

From idealistic pub conversations to launching a mission-driven publishing company, Laura and Jessie share the realities of modern publishing, the pressures facing authors and publishers alike, and why they believe the future of books lies in partnership, persistence and community.

A fascinating conversation about creativity, business, storytelling and changing an industry from the inside out.
