Authors have been wilding on social media: we catch you up on the snowed-in why choose hubbub and Jodi Picoult giving her two cents on indie publishing.

Please note that we discuss Gothikana by RuNyX at the start of the episode. At the time of the recording, we were not aware that the book was acquired by Bramble, an imprint of Macmillan books. Macmillan also owns St. Martin's Press and Wednesday  Books who still have not addressed the Islamophobic and racist comments made by their employee on social media. In the Mood For Podcast and us hosts unequivocally support the SMP Boycott and will not platform any Macmillan, St. Martin's or Wednesday Books products going forward until we receive an adequate response from St. Martin's Press.
