Bittersweet Moment #80: Virtual Book Tour (with Jess Walter)


Listen Later

What are book tours like in the time of Covid? For this week's mini-episode, Katy sits down with bestselling author Jess Walter to discuss what it's like to do book events in his office while staring into a computer screen or to sign 6000 books in one go. They also consider that, even in a post-Covid world, true book tours might become a thing of the past, and why maybe that won't be such a bad thing.

Jess' latest book, The Cold Millions will be published on 27 October 2020. Pre-order your copy, or better yet, drop by your local bookstore and you might just find a signed copy.
