[This episode was recorded by Westport Library on-site in Westport, Connecticut.]
Last Fall, the MiP Podcast returned to Westport Library for their annual StoryFest! Jenn was joined by fellow debut authors / pub professionals Lauren Morrow (author of Little Movements) and Amber Oliver (author of When the Music Hits). They discussed the narrative parallels of these two novels with Black women protagonists making their mark in creative industries, navigating the other side of publishing as an author, and offer advice to novices seeking to begin a career in book publishing.
