  • Independent Bookstores–Sharing Some Love
    Jun 27 2024

    Independent bookstores are the lifeblood of the book industry. I’ve been so fortunate to have incredible bookstore partners over the years. Booksellers who took a chance on me, helped launch my career, and have become dear friends over the years. We’re sending them all the love and sharing some of our favorite memories from the early years of logging miles and miles on our Subaru driving around the Pacific Northwest for book talks.


    Do you have a favorite bookstore? Let me know in the comments and maybe I’ll stop by and say hi!

  • Launching a Book–Everything it Takes
    Jun 20 2024

    Have you ever wondered how a book goes from an idea to a lovely bound copy on bookstore shelves? This is the podcast for you! We’re breaking down every step of the process, from the seed of an idea to editing, formatting, cover design, and so much more. We’re also exploring how the process differs in traditional, hybrid, or independent publishing. Sometimes, launching a book feels as (if not more) challenging than actually writing the book!


    Are you surprised by everything that leads up to launch day? What would you skip? Please say page proofs, please!

Why make a podcast

The sarcasm of "Sorry to the listening darlings" is massive, Perhaps this should only be released on YouTube and should not be an actual Podcast if the resentment level is so high for those that choose to listen to a podcast and not watch a video.
