The Domino Effect: How to Get Your Work Published with Lydia Geisel
Welcome back to The Interior Collective Podcast! In today's episode, we're thrilled to be joined by Lydia Geisel, Homes Editor at Domino magazine. Lydia has been a key figure on the editorial team at Domino since 2017, starting as an editorial intern and working her way up to overseeing the magazine’s home and renovation stories, from stunning house tours to transformative before-and-afters and creative DIY projects. Based in New York City, Lydia has not only interviewed design icons like Leanne Ford, Nate Berkus, and Brigette Romanek, but she’s also a seasoned pro at curating Domino’s weekly Reno newsletter and covering the latest in design news. In this episode, we'll dive deep into the world of design media as Lydia shares invaluable advice on how interior designers can get their work published. We’ll explore what Domino looks for in a project, from professional photography to compelling storytelling, and Lydia will offer three key tips on how to make your submissions stand out. We'll also discuss the importance of building relationships with editors, and the critical role that product links play (or don’t play) in home tour articles. Whether you're a seasoned designer or just starting out, Lydia's insights will provide the roadmap to getting your work noticed and published.
