Episodes

I interview primarily nonfiction writers, but I have interviewed a few novelists and short story writers. It seems most of those have been YA. Maybe that’s a trend I will continue, but for now, the author’s genres are not methodically selected.

I read what interests me and what I admire. Here’s a breakdown of guests by the primary genre that we discussed on their show.
