On Wednesday, September 2nd at 7pm Eastern on the F&F Facebook page and YouTube channel we are airing an “Ask Us Anything” episode where F&F’s Managing Director leads our hosts & founders — , , & in answering questions that were submitted by our community.
The Fab Four wanted to know what those of you out there might be wondering about. So we solicited your questions and we were amazed by the response! We received more than 50 questions! So, we recorded a casual, informal chat where we got to as many of them as possible. One thing is clear—we will definitely need to do this again to get to more of them! But for now, join us as we discuss all manner of things from writing process, reading habits, and recent favorite reads, to book touring, guest booking, and the relationships between our four hosts.
Watch the video broadcast as it airs on Wed 9/2 at 7pm ET on the F&F Facebook group page & YouTube channel. Catch the audio version on our podcast Fri 9/4.
Meanwhile, shop all of our guests’ & hosts’ books in our F&F Shop on Bookshop.org where all your discounted purchases support our show and indie bookstores nationwide!
