Unstressable with Michael Carlisle, Elizabeth Beier, and Alice Law - Behind the Pages

Slo Mo: A Podcast with Mo Gawdat

Today we have a special treat on Slo Mo, diving into the fascinating world of books with Michael Carlisle and Elizabeth Beier, two people responsible for Unstressable being published.
Both Alice and I, want the book to reach as many people as it should. You can help us by pre-ordering the book (https://amzn.eu/d/ipz9OUW) ahead of its international publishing day on May 9th.

We get up close and personal with Michael Carlisle, literary agent at InkWell Management, and friend. Not only has Michael represented Pulitzer Prize winners, but his journey from the bustling corridors of the William Morris Agency to InkWell is a story of passion and dedication to the literary arts.

Then, we switch gears to chat with Elizabeth Beier, the executive editor at St. Martin’s Press. While Elizabeth is known for her sharp editorial eye, there’s a playful and distinctly personal side to her that often goes unnoticed. We delve into industry secrets and tips for aspiring writers too!
Listen as we discuss:

• Unstressable
• Who Michael and Elizabeth are
• The challenges of the publishing Industry
• How to get published
• Alice's perspective on becoming Unstressable
• The most stressful things in publishing
• Drivers of the publishing Industry
• Mo's and Alice's writing process
• Why Unstressable got published
