Beatriz Williams, Karen White and Lauren Willig
On this episode, the Fab Four are joined by FOUR fabulous authors! On the first half of the show, we meet Beatriz Williams, Lauren Willig, and Karen White (affectionately known as “Team W”) about the most recent novel they team-wrote together, THE LOST SUMMERS OF NEWPORT. We hear all about their team-writing process, how their partnership came to be, the setting and inspiration for their latest bestseller, and are treated to some writing tips. On the second half of the show, we meet publishing veteran turned novelist, Miriam Parker. With an MFA in Creative Writing, two decades in the book biz, some short stories and a debut novel under her belt, Miriam is currently the VP, Associate Publisher of Ecco, an imprint of HarperCollins. She joins us to discuss her new novel, ROOM AND BOARD. The crew talks about her path to publication, her unique perspective as both an author and a publishing insider, and how she juggles it all.
