Hello and welcome, luminous writers. I'm Rachel Thompson. I'm an author, a literary magazine editor, and an online writing instructor. And this is Write, Publish, and Shine , a podcast for emerging writers who want to publish and shine. In this season of Write, Publish, and Shine , we'll talk about how to keep making art when the world needs our resistance, when your energy is stretched and when you still feel called to the page. You'll hear interviews with writers and editors about sustaining a practice, craft-focused episodes on tension, revision, voice, and structure, and personal reflections on the realities of writing and creating with care. Every episode offers one or two practical moves you can try. I hope when you listen, you’re reminded that you're not alone in the work of being a luminous writer, i.e. a writer who's attentive to seasons, to the world, and to developing both craft and resilience.

In this season-ending episode, I'm talking about returning. Sometimes a draft changes when you look again. Sometimes the draft hasn't changed at all—you have. In this episode, I reflect on my own return to writing sixteen years after publishing Galaxy , what editing has taught me about attention, why returning to the same material is not failure, and how form often reveals itself through repetition, echo, and looking again. I also share a simple three-part practice for returning to a draft with your ear, your body, and the place where the writing still holds a little pressure. --- Get my Writerly Love Letters, sent Wednesdays and filled with ideas and care for you and your writing: rachelthompson.co/letters All of the notes for this episode are up at rachelthompson.co/122 Hosted on Acast.

#121 Delphine Gauthier-Georgakopoulos of Raw Lit Mag on “Fit” for Editors
Jun 30, 202641 min
In this episode of Write, Publish, and Shine , I speak with Delphine Gauthier-Georgakopoulos , founder and editor of Raw Lit , an online, issue-based literary magazine that publishes curated lineups of prose, poetry, artwork, and hybrids. We talk about what Raw Lit is actually looking for (ahem, not shock, not unprocessed rage), why “fit” is often a voice question more than a theme question, and the small, unglamorous guidelines details that quietly make an editor’s day. --- Get my Writerly Love Letters, sent Wednesdays and filled with ideas and care for you and your writing: rachelthompson.co/letters All of the notes for this episode are up at rachelthompson.co/121 Hosted on Acast.

Every question we get asked before someone starts their trial.
If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.
What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?
Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.
How do agency tiers work?
Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.
What is a talent profile?
A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.
Do you offer a free trial?
Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.
What happens if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.
Is the 20% annual discount automatic?
Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.
What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?
That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
