I've discussed the whole gifts for editorial team, agent, etc. thing with many friends, and we discovered a funny thing: it seems like a lot of women send gifts and such, whereas my male author friends were like, You do what now? LOL
Thank you for writing this. It's great to hear about the etiquette as I always have gift anxiety! I'm planning on getting FIEND soon and really looking forward to reading it.
I feel like it's lawless times now re: etiquette though little touches are always welcome. I know of one author who sends her editor giant bags of M&Ms.
Thank you for supporting FIEND! I hope you enjoy it.
I don't think it's weird that you sent gifts, Alma. It's such a lovely way to let the team working on your book know that you recognize, appreciate, and celebrate their efforts and your shared goal of success for your book.
ooh I would love to read FIEND! and thank you for this etiquette info--I think my agent did a good job of talking me through a bunch of this stuff related to the publishing team before my most recent book, but the tips re taking your conversation partner out for a drink etc are especially good!

Eye-opening. Thanks for sharing--now I won't feel so guilty.

Thank you! Good to know I'm not out in left field :-)
It's one of many areas in this business where it's like, does everyone know what these rules but me??? So the transparency is so helpful!
I’m so excited for Fiend!!
Thank you so much.
