Telling Lies to Children

Today I welcome Christopher Healy, middle grade author of the much beloved Hero's Guide series, which includes The Hero's Guide to Saving Your Kingdom, The Hero's Guide to Storming the Castle, and The Hero's Guide to Being an Outlaw. Chris's books have been praised by the New York Times and Wall Street Journal, and have been translated in far-flung places--most recently Japan. He's also a really funny guy. Just like his books.

Join Chris and me as we discuss our experiences at BEA (Book Expo America), what stand-up comedians and children's authors have in common, and the hazards of eating trail mix while on author tours.

J.A. White

Middle grade author J.A. White joins me for the very first episode of Telling Lies to Children. He is the author of The Thickety series, which has been a smash hit with reviewers and kids alike. He's also a third grade teacher and an all around nice guy. Among the series' many accolades, The Thickety: A Path Begins was named a Publishers Weekly Best Book of the Year and won Jerry the Children's Choice Debut Author Award. The third book in the series, Well of Witches, is out in hardcover now.

Today we talk about author tours, the famous but unexpectedly elusive bats of Austin, TX, our mutual social media incompetence, and a whole lot more.

Telling Lies to Children with Paul Durham - Premieres August 2!

Shhh...don't tell the kids.

Librarians, media specialists, teachers, parents, and all adult kids' lit enthusiasts, this podcast is for you. Although there are thousands of podcasts available, I have found few, if any, hosted by children's authors but intended for adults who live and breath children's literature. We all work with children every day, but sometimes it's nice to talk like adults with adults who share our love of children's books and publishing.

I'll be packing my mic and headphones to chat with editors at the world's biggest publishing houses, agents, award-winning children's authors, booksellers, librarians, and even young readers. The weekly podcast will be casual, conversational and unscripted, and I hope to give listeners a behind-the-scenes look at all areas of children's writing, publishing, and most importantly--reading.

Join me and my guests as we give you a candid, behind-the-scenes look at children's fiction publishing--the business of telling lies to children. But only the best kinds of lies, of course!

PREMIERES AUGUST 2ND! LISTEN TO THE TEASER NOW.
