On today's show, we chat with a children's book publisher who is opening back up for submissions soon. We chat about what they're looking for, what makes a manuscript or story idea stand out to them, and we look at some of the mistakes authors can avoid. So, if you've got a story sitting on your computer, tucked away in a drawer, or almost ready to send out into the world, grab a taco and join us for some invaluable advice from the publisher's side of the desk. Today's guest has been in and around the publishing industry his whole life. Just like his grandfather and his father before him. He's travelled the world with stories, and he's popped in to chat with us today about his journey and his work as publisher of EK Books. We'll get a good look at publishing from the other side of the submissions desk. So everybody please welcome, Nathan Thomas
