For anyone aiming to become an author, the statistics on what happens to books once they hit the shelves aren't all that rosy. Around a third of all traditionally-published books that make it to bookstore shelves are returned to the publishers - then remaindered, or shredded.

In this episode, we take a look at Carolyn Howard-Johnson's tips on how to avoid our own books landing in the warehouse - or worse, in the shredder.

Join author, linguist, and mathematician-in-the-making Sarah on an exploration of the world through the lens of letters and numbers!
