From acquisitions all the way to publication and beyond, Ashley Imanë Fields walks us through the process at Freedom Fire, a new imprint at Disney Hyperion dedicated to stories about Black Joy, Black Resilience, and Black Storytelling.

Topics discussed include:

• The acquisitions process (editorial, sales, and more)
• How editors advocate for books within their imprints
• What it's like to establish a new imprint within a company as expansive as Disney

Thanks Ash for joining us!
