Eight letters about what the publishing industry has every incentive not to tell you directly.

Publishing is not a meritocracy. It's a market. That's actually good news — once you understand what it means.

Over eight weeks: what agents don't say in rejections and how to read between the lines, what a query letter is actually asking for, what self-publishing is and isn't, what your platform means and doesn't mean, and the contract clause that will matter most at the worst possible moment.

One letter per week. Each includes a Dare and an Exercise. You do the work and submit it to Jacob personally.

Pay what you want: minimum $5, suggested $25, no ceiling.
