Hey Collaborist!
On this week's episode of Collaborcast, Maddy and Ben dive in to the publishing world, and how Ben entered the publishing world. We talk about Ben's story of hard-work, motivation, and luck. We also discuss the logistics and roles that are necessary in the publishing world. From Ben's eventful career, he has one major takeaway to share with Collaborist: No matter the path we all take, it is the connections and impacts we make along the way that matter the most.
Ben LeRoy began his publishing career in the early 2000s as the publisher of Bleak House Books (2000-2009) and then Tyrus Books (2009-2017) until the latter was acquired by Simon & Schuster. During his time as publisher, Ben worked on a variety of critically acclaimed and award winning titles. He was also a regular panelist and speaker at writing conferences. Since 2017 he has continued to work with writers to help them understand and best tell their stories. He has extensive relationships within the publishing and bookselling community and is a mindful observer of current trends and artistic integrity. He is continually exploring new ways of approaching editing.
