The Hot Sheet

Jane Friedman's briefing on the publishing industry for working authors

Newsletter Writing Biweekly Updated Oct 2026

About

Jane Friedman has spent years covering the business of publishing, and The Hot Sheet distills that into a biweekly briefing specifically for authors: changes at major publishers, self-publishing platform updates, and the business decisions that affect how writers actually get paid.

It's trade-press-level specific rather than general writing inspiration, which makes it most valuable to authors who are actively publishing or querying and need to understand the business they're operating in, not just the craft of writing itself.
