Alexis Orgera and Chad Reynolds of Penny Candy Books

61 min • 28 januari 2020

Co-owners and publishers of Penny Candy Books, Alexis Orgera and Chad Reynolds, talk to Giuseppe Castellano about how they started a publishing company; what 5 steps are needed to publish a book; why they accept unsolicited manuscripts; and why diversity is integral to their mission.

Lastly, they discuss if Penny Candy Books—with employees living in Oklahoma, North Carolina, Georgia, and New Jersey—is the future of children’s book publishing.

Chad brought up the book, Publishing for Profit: Successful Bottom-line Management for Book Publishers. You can purchase a copy from Chicago Review Press, here.
