It was such a pleasure being on your podcast @kirstenwlarson.bsky.social and to share the stage (or rather screen) with you and @valeriebolling.bsky.social was such an honor 🤩
New episode! 🎙️ I chat with @marziehabbas.bsky.social and @valeriebolling.bsky.social about writing across genres and age groups—from board books to middle grade to books for adults. So much wisdom! 🎧
