Hungry Authors


66. Publishing Hungry Authors with Executive Editor Christen Karniski

July 29, 2024

What is it like to publish your book with a traditional publisher? In this episode, we take you behind the scenes with our very own editor at Rowman & Littlefield/Bloomsbury, Christen Karniski! Christen is in the business of publishing hungry authors (literally – Hungry Authors the book and hungry authors like all of us!). She makes decisions every day about what proposals move forward for consideration by the editorial board and which ones don’t. This week, we’re chatting with Christen about Hungry Authors the book and also about how Hungry Authors can pitch their books to publishers like Rowman & Littlefield!



Christen Karniski is the executive acquisitions editor for sports and recreation, parenting, and YA nonfiction at Rowman & Littlefield/Bloomsbury. Learn more about Christen and what she’s looking for in this interview with Publishers Weekly.
