Rock Stars of Reading part 7: Creators of the Round Table [29:55m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

Mark spent two amazing hours at a table with Jeanne Birdsall (on JOMB), Jane Dyer, Jarrett Krosoczka (on JOMB) and David Ezra Stein, sharing a common love of children’s books and talking about how each found their way into writing and illustrating, children’s books vs. traditional publishing and what keeps them in an industry that isn’t known for generating a lot of wealth for the people in it.

MUSIC

Theme: Woolly Mammoth by Robert Farrell (from Sun House Fury, part 1)
Cliffhanger by the Eternal Jazz Project (from Season), found on Magnatune
