Customer Reviews
Great writing & publishing insights
So fun to listen to people who have a love for kids, a passion for storytelling, and publishing experience address some of the main issues in the industry. Middle-grade and YA fiction are some of my favorite genres, but it’s hard to find titles with compelling, non-preachy, and age-appropriate content - and this podcast helped me see why. Even better, this is a great way to learn about true, beautiful, and good books to read! Discovering Owl’s Nest has been one of the highlights of my year.
Very Enjoyable and informative
If you cold in a future podcast, please address the difference between query, synopsis and a blurb. They seem redundant at times, which makes them a bit confusing.
