Interview with Brenda Haire
Brenda Haire shares how she built a 700-person launch team, turned her grandmother’s story into Save the Buttertubs.
36 episodes of conversations with authors about the books they wrote and the journeys that got them there. Hosted by Richard Lowe Jr.
Author Talks is a podcast about the work behind the book. Every author has a story about how the book came to exist — the decade of false starts, the breakthrough moment, the editor who finally got it, the year of self-doubt, the chapter that almost broke them. This show gets into all of that.
Guests include traditionally published authors, indie authors, ghostwriting clients with permission to be public, debut novelists, career memoirists, and writers across genres. Richard has interviewed authors at every stage of the craft, from first-time NaNoWriMo finishers to multi-book bestsellers.
