It feels like the book for this exact moment." - Lynn Melnick, author of Landscape with Sex and Violence ”What To Miss When is hilarious and absolutely horrifying. If you think the quarantine habits you developed are unique and charming, read this book to be put in your place. But I beg of you, gift that to yourself, it'll make you feel less alone. ‘I'm a feminist, I got the memo,’ is Stein's perfect disclaimer when shouting the things so many of us are afraid to even whisper. It's a specific kind of book that helps us remember how things were, that serves as a map for our children to understand why we are the way we are. This book is one of them.” —Olivia Gatwood, author of Life of the Party https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/537a759de4b05f3bc936cc1a/1638922025776-5CWAODWRKTGBNRT5QMFY/image-asset.png WHAT TO MISS WHEN - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/537a759de4b05f3bc936cc1a/1639755428604-CPD7Z4H11E132CVVGN1G/WTMW_book_launch_12.jpg WHAT TO MISS WHEN https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/537a759de4b05f3bc936cc1a/1639755411284-2K0PA3I78Q1VB2KBI2TL/WTMW_book_launch_3.jpg WHAT TO MISS WHEN https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/537a759de4b05f3bc936cc1a/1639755420656-GBTMSGGP1R3IO28AJ41S/WTMW_book_launch_11.jpg WHAT TO MISS WHEN https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/537a759de4b05f3bc936cc1a/1639755436853-SFAOY6ZUWS4KHM53NX9J/WTMW_book_launch_30.jpg WHAT TO MISS WHEN https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/537a759de4b05f3bc936cc1a/1639755460298-4JIEMC2NJ00PNV84JX1M/WTMW_book_launch_65.jpg WHAT TO MISS WHEN https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/537a759de4b05f3bc936cc1a/1639755452641-APDN8195T0EWG1OKCCQI/WTMW_book_launch_45.jpg WHAT TO MISS WHEN https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/537a759de4b05f3bc936cc1a/1639756062523-Y89OJ22WQRJN82UKTG9D/WTMW_book_launch_75.jpg WHAT TO MISS WHEN https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/537a759de4b05f3bc936cc1a/1639755714035-JFTCA1GHVBARJGAHNSEI/WTMW_book_launch_107.jpg WHAT TO MISS WHEN https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/537a759de4b05f3bc936cc1a/1639755703398-5X5O8UP4K6BTHO9TDSYU/WTMW_book_launch_93.jpg WHAT TO MISS WHEN https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/537a759de4b05f3bc936cc1a/1639755779008-SQD8CZKOPK71KITF6HPA/WTMW_book_launch_38.jpg WHAT TO MISS WHEN https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/537a759de4b05f3bc936cc1a/1639755486839-UASMK5ASQM85A4MON1AV/WTMW_book_launch_109.jpg WHAT TO MISS WHEN https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/537a759de4b05f3bc936cc1a/1639755483795-QLNSTXSF7JESEIQ5QOWG/WTMW_book_launch_108.jpg WHAT TO MISS WHEN https://www.leighstein.com/cultural-criticism daily 0.75 2025-06-21 https://www.leighstein.com/coaching daily 0.75 2026-06-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/537a759de4b05f3bc936cc1a/0f836b7e-5a48-4056-ae80-383da46a3d9b/Leigh-Stein-2353-1-+3.jpeg COACHING - Make it stand out Photo by Mindy Tucker https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/537a759de4b05f3bc936cc1a/1750355431775-KU27A2F0E4HA00DWC1ZE/Squarespace+portfolio.png COACHING https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/537a759de4b05f3bc936cc1a/1750355244268-A80I0SZ2R0OHYG7443JX/1.png COACHING https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/537a759de4b05f3bc936cc1a/1750355253759-KCPXG7B8RI6F8Y8LO5D7/2.png COACHING https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/537a759de4b05f3bc936cc1a/1750355260310-FKIBTE6N61JP44RMDYQF/3.png COACHING https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/537a759de4b05f3bc936cc1a/1750355265232-5CIEC5AKZE5IBHR7J65D/5.png COACHING https://www.leighstein.com/hype-house daily 0.75 2026-06-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/537a759de4b05f3bc936cc1a/40bcdd6a-dbe3-4956-944e-b95a65b3cef4/HYPE+HOUSE.png Hype House - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/537a759de4b05f3bc936cc1a/283e56a7-4ded-4b23-9408-efc107901b07/2679-1-.jpg Hype House - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/537a759de4b05f3bc936cc1a/9f33309a-4676-4be7-aabc-4332a76103c9/9780593978924.jpeg Hype House “Leigh is a singular presence in the industry: both author and augur. She is one of the first people I bring up when someone tells me they're writing a book. Leigh is one of the resources I trust most to tell me what to do. She has a realistic understanding of the publishing industry, media landscape and entertainment context into which a book will emerge, and she takes a thoughtful, proactive approach to the problem of being an author in 2026. I love that Leigh doesn't leave her career / destiny in anyone else's hands. I can't speak highly enough of the quality of what she offers to her followers, readers, subscribers and students.

Who is your dream reader and where can we find her? In Week 1, we’ll identify your primary audience and organize your unique obsessions into content pillars, so you know what to post—and for whom.

Just as you’ve likely been influenced by writers who came before you as you drafted your latest manuscript, you can look online for writers creating content and connecting with their audiences in ways that inspire you. In Week 2, we’ll study other creators—not to copy, but to analyze and understand what makes their content effective.

And just like crafting an attention-grabbing first five pages, most online attention can be boiled down to crafting a really great hook. In Week 3 of the Hype House, we’ll practice optimization techniques for increasing views, subscriber counts, and any other metrics that matter to you.
