Second Cup of Joe...and John

What does it take to create a New York Times bestseller? Jonathan Merkh would know. 

The longtime publishing executive has helped launch more than 100 bestsellers, including 13 that reached #1, and now he's turning the publishing world on its head. 

Growing up as a missionary kid in France, Merkh shares how an unlikely path led him to Nashville and a career working with everyone from Brad Paisley and Mike Rowe, to Joan Lunden. 

He also explains why authors today don't necessarily need a
traditional publisher, why AI has every publisher paying attention, and what separates a good book from one you simply can't put down.

AMONG THE TOPICS: WHY HIS FIRST RIDE IN A FORD F-150 HAPPENED IN FRANCE, THE $40,000 QUESTION EVERY ASPIRING AUTHOR SHOULD ASK, WHAT AI CAN'T WRITE (YET), WHY A GREAT BOOK IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PUT DOWN, THE DANGERS OF 120 MPH ON THE NATCHEZ TRACE, AND THE ONE WORD EVERY DAD SHOULD SAY MORE OFTEN.
