Tonya: We are constantly reading submissions. Lauren didn’t mention them because they are not members of our regular staff, but we have two fantastic readers who go through every single submission and carefully select which ones go on to Lauren & Lexa to check out. We read selections even when we’re not actively looking to hire a writer. But we know what’s coming down the pipe, so if we see something in a writer that we think might work for a future project, we hold on to the sample until we’re ready to audition for that project. So I don’t have an exact “we hire a new writer every X months” answer, because each project is unique. But we are always thinking about our next writer in every sample we read.

Hope that helps!

Next question… How often do they find/accept new authors?
