About this listen

 Thinking about writing a book or pitching a big idea? LIsten to this FIRST! Kishan Trotman didn’t set out to launch a publishing imprint—but when the moment called for action, she answered. In this episode, she shares how Legacy Lit was born in the wake of the George Floyd uprisings, and what it took to convince one of the biggest publishing houses in the world to bet on something new.

We talk about how to make a compelling case for your ideas, why most people misunderstand what success in publishing actually looks like, and what it really takes to turn a book—or any creative project, into something that lasts. If you’ve ever wondered whether your story matters, how publishing works behind the scenes, or what it takes to get your idea out into the world and keep it alive, this episode is for you.
