Thank you very much for this insightful interview. As a resident of Japan myself, I follow Craig Mod’s every pop-up newsletter/walk and it was great to read about what goes on behind the scenes in interview format.

What a wonderful read Wesley, it's full of valuable pearls of knowledge as this is a model I've been trying to work out this year coming from the same place of rejection as Craig.

Thank you so much for doing this!

Great insight into working with an editor.

Especially for something as solid as a book.

Details, details, details.

I wish more people would utilize an editor or mentor.

I am both, I also use an editor and a mentor.

The transformational aspect is palpable.

This is so interesting. I worked years as a photo editor for magazines, never did books. Sounds wonderful. Besides that I like the information about his funding of the book and how he made it possible. Thanks for sharing and great that he found a publisher!
