Write Where It Hurts

Gatekeepers (& Keymasters) of Publishing

Listen Later

In this week’s episode, Eva and Katryn discuss the troublesome surge in book bans in the U.S., how it impacts them as writers, as well as what gatekeepers can do to hold the line against censorship. Eva does a spectacular, chef’s kiss-worthy impression of Ted Cruz’s Anti-Racist Baby tantrum, and Kate talks a little too long about rodent burlesque.
