Meet Kate O'Donnell. She is the author of Untidy Towns published by UQP, project editor at Scribble, an imprint of Scribe, and bookseller at Yarraville's The Younger Sun. Kate joins us to talk about the ins and outs of bookselling, what is popular in YA and children's literature, as well as the impact of COVID-19 restrictions on independent bookstores.
This episode was recorded remotely during May 2020 and in the midst of Level 3 restrictions, which we have just reentered in Melbourne. There may be variations of audio quality.
