Nicole Frail is a senior editor at Skyhorse Publishing, a traditional publishing company based in New York City. She has been with the company more than a decade and currently works on both adult and children's titles in both fiction and nonfiction categories. She has worked with debut authors and illustrators, as well as New York Times bestsellers, James Beard Award winners, and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame musicians.
In this episode, we talk about:
• Getting a full time publishing internship in NY from outside the city
• What goes into the role of an editorial assistant and getting that promotion only a couple of weeks into her internship
• Whether it's important to have challenging words in books for that age range
• What makes Skyhorse different from other publishing houses
• How long it will take an author to see their book printed through traditional publishing (often 12-18 months) but that Skyhorse can get it out faster in certain instances
• Advice to promote your book and whether they look for a high social media following and engagement
• If it’s worth getting illustrations for your book when submitting
• Self publishing vs traditional publishing
• Advice to authors for querying including synopsis, log line, and bio (why are you coming to me in first paragraph) and comparative title advice
*Note: We recorded this episode a few months ago. As of July 3rd, 2024, Nicole is no longer at Skyhorse. She is devoting her time to her small business, Nicole Frail Edits.
