Book Craft — Conversations from Every Side of the Story
Book Craft is a podcast for readers, writers, and publishers who love the magic of books—from the first spark of an idea to the moment a story reaches a reader’s hands. Each episode brings together voices from every corner of the book world.
Debut and bestselling authors talk craft, creativity, and the realities of publishing. Readers share what they love, how they read, and the questions they’ve always wanted to ask. Industry professionals offer insight into trends, book clubs, translations, and what really happens behind the scenes.
However you love books, there’s a place for you here.
