GALLEY BRAG

GALLEY BRAG

Ezra started Galley Brag in late 2024 in an attempt to better understand the publishing industry from the inside-out and the outside-in. What originally started as a vehicle through which to chat with his friends and authors about their publishing world takeaways and the forthcoming books they were most excited about became a biweekly interview series with over 1,200 subscribers. Since its inception, Ezra has interviewed critics, content creators, indie booksellers, sales reps, journalists, and others in the publishing ecosystem about their hot takes and keen insight in the hopes of unlocking the secret to publishing better.

As seen in USA Today.
