Leigh Stein discusses the Simon & Schuster acquisition, building a platform on TikTok, the Colleen Hoover Phenomenon, and whether Substack is an echo chamber. — Book coach and author Leigh Stein (presumably killing it on #BookTok).

Although the podcast is on hiatus this month, I thought I would drop in an episode just for my paying subscribers.

Author and book coach Leigh Stein is who I have on speed dial when I need to talk about what’s going on in the literary world. After I heard about the big acquisition of Simon & Schuster by private equity firm KKR, I called her up to talk about it.
