Getting Past the Publishing Gatekeepers

Author Interview with Carrie Schmidt – Co-Author of Getting Past the Publishing Gatekeepers

October 12, 2022 by Suzie Waltner 3 Comments

Today, I’m excited to introduce you my friend Carrie Schmidt. If you’ve been around the world of Christian Fiction for long, you have likely heard of her either through her blog (Reading is My Superpower) or her efforts to help authors promote their books as co-owner of JustRead Publicity Tours.

Carrie has taken the information she’s gathered over the years as a blogger and promoter as well as some insights from other readers and bloggers and put them in a resource that every author, whether aspiring or seasoned, will want on their bookshelves.

About the Author

Carrie Schmidt is an avid reader, book reviewer, story addict, KissingBooks fan, book boyfriend collector, and cool aunt. She also loves Jesus and THE Story a whole lot. Carrie started the popular blog ReadingIsMySuperPower.org in 2015 and since then has had the honor of co-founding the Christian Fiction Readers’ Retreat and JustRead Publicity Tours. In addition to these endeavors, she is a regular contributor to Seekerville and has written for magazines such as RT Book Reviews and Christian Market. Carrie now lives in Georgia with her husband, though her roots range from East Tennessee to Central Kentucky and northern Illinois. You can connect with Carrie on ReadingIsMySuperPower.org, Facebook @meezcarriereads or @meezcarriewrites, and everywhere else social at @meezcarrie.

About the Book

Remember when Dorothy finally reached the Emerald City only to be halted by the Gatekeeper, blocking her hopes of seeing the Great and Powerful Wizard?

The path to publication is like that. Agents, and Editors, and Publishers, oh, my! Each one is a barrier between you and a publishing contract.

But what if you understood what agents, editors, publishers, and readers really want?

If you’re struggling to get past the publishing gatekeepers, this book will give you a behind-the-scenes peek at how to win the heart of each type of publishing professional. In fact, Getting Past the Publishing Gatekeepers won’t just give you a peek—it will give you a guided tour. In this book, four publishing professionals—an agent, a publisher, an editor, and an influencer—share what it takes to unlock each “gate” within the publishing industry.

Getting Past the Publishing Gatekeepers is a must-have resource for all aspiring authors, and it offers insights to help multi-published authors as well.

Can’t Wait Wednesday: Getting Past the Publishing Gatekeepers by Hope Bolinger, Linda Fulkerson, Rowena Kuo, and Carrie Schmidt

cant wait wednesday

Can’t-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted at Wishful Endings to spotlight and discuss the books we’re excited about that we have yet to read. Generally, they’re books that have yet to be released. It’s based on Waiting on Wednesday, hosted by the fabulous Jill at Breaking the Spine. If you’re continuing with WOW, feel free to link those up as well! Find out more here

From pre-publishing to when books finally get out in the world, authors have several hurdles to get through (finding an agent, getting interest from a publisher, working with an editor and finally, finding and keeping readers). Getting Past the Publishing Gatekeepers gives authors an inside look at ways to win the hearts of each of these people.
