Episode 23: Why YA Books Matter + Publishing Process ft. Author K. B. Hoyle

Hi listeners! As I mentioned in the beginning of this episode, we wanted to apologize for the audio quality—we had some audio tech issues, but we wanted to try and save this episode because we LOVED talking with Karin so much! Though it’s a bit muffled, we hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

We talk about Karin’s publishing journey, what it’s like to be an author, why YA is so important, and so much more! Plus, some fun stories about Katie and Karin as kids (Mollie wishes she had been friends with them back then. *tears*)
