Minorities In Publishing

This is a live recording of the Minorities in Publishing podcast hosted at The Westport Library on September 21st as part of the 2024 StoryFest line up. Audio was provided by Travis Bell (The Westport Library).  StoryFest 2024 welcomed Jenn and fellow 2023 debut authors Don P. Hooper (True True) and Shannon C.F. Rogers (I'd Rather Burn Than Bloom and Eighteen Roses) about their respective year as debut authors in the young adult space. The group discusses expectations, surprises, and the ways they found community to help one another through a somewhat emotional, uplifting, and unpredictable time in their creative and professional lives.  [You can sign up for the MiP monthly newsletter with job listings, guest news, transcripts, and new eps on the MiP website here.] This month's ewsletter was sponsored by Writeability, a nonprofit writers guild, in defense of the imagination.
