HarperCollins Publishers Senior Vice President and Director of Creative Development, Lisa Sharkey, joined our Bookstr segment with Sarah Hill and discussed her role and how she acquires high-profile books in the publishing industry. Lisa, who previously worked in television told us that, “Rather than waiting for agents necessarily to come to me with a full-on book proposal, I want to find the most interesting people that I can find and reach out to them and say ‘hey, would you like to write a book?'” Lisa has worked with athletes and celebrities such as Tim Tebow, Laurie Hernandez, and Lindsey Vonn.
