Greetings! Welcome to the People Still Read Books podcast, a weekly podcast in which Will Leitch, author of five books, including the upcoming "How Lucky," builds up to the May release of his book by talking to some of his favorite authors about their books and their experiences in publishing. It's a way to learn about the industry AND talk to some great authors about their great books.
There's no better Episode One guest than Linda Holmes, author of the NYT bestseller "Evvie Drake Starts Over" and host of the NPR podcast "Pop Culture Happy Hour." She's one of the best people we know. Will talks to her about publishing her first book in her 40s, what it's like to go from writing online forever to being a bestselling author, how to stay sane when your book is release and what it's like to suddenly be talking about your book on the "Today" show with Jenna Bush.
It's a super fun podcast. And we're going to be doing this weekly!
