Episode 57: Lady's Knight

We're baa-aaack! 💕⚔️

Welcome BACK to the Pub Dates newsletter! We’re so glad you’re here.

This newsletter is released as a companion to each podcast episode, and we use it to share the visual elements of our discussion — from mood boards to design sketches, from photos to secret giveaways just for subscribers.

In episode fifty-seven we got back behind the mic to celebrate Amie’s new release, Lady’s Knight, co-authored with Meagan Spooner — and we invited Meg to join the party!

If you haven’t listened, make sure you get yourself over to your podcast feed, because we had so much fun with this discussion.

We promised to share a few bits and pieces with you when we recorded, so here we are!

Pitch materials

First up, we told you we’d share some of the pages from the pitch document for Lady’s Knight — so here they are! These have never been seen in public before, so enjoy! But if you’re an aspiring writer, please no there is know right way to do this. We don’t pitch like this for every book we write! This one just called for it — we had a third “to be determined” book to write on our contract, and wanted publisher sign-off on the idea, so we went out of our way to convey the right vibes.

This was our cover page — comp titles right up front.

This page really was just vibes.

And here we introduced the characters.

Purchase links

If you’d like to grab a copy of Lady’s Knight during launch week (that’s right now!) or recommend it to a friend, here are all the links you need:

And that’s it for now… but just for now!

We’ll be back — we’re thinking maybe a holiday book rec episode at the end of the year? And of course Amie’s got a new book out in February, so we can’t wait to tell you about that. See you soon!
