Introducing you to Writers off the Page's new mini-series: Wise Words. Inspiring, unfiltered and fun conversations with those who've been around the publishing industry for many years ... and in some cases, come out the other side. Hear their wise words, their frustrations and the things they think you should understand about an industry that's often quite mysterious.

In this episode, I chat to Simon & Schuster's Head of Children's publishing Tash Besliev, whose brilliant mind helped get this mini-series off the ground.
