diamondap -- I see that you're an author yourself, do you know much about how the industry functions on the publisher side? I'm trying to learn more about the space (both out of personal curiosity as I've been working on a book myself and because the more I learn the more I'm interested in building something in the industry).

If you're willing to chat, happy to ping you through your website!

Edit: I see on your personal website you also have a publishing co, would love to get your insight
