The Accident in the Margins

A working author thinks out loud — about craft, culture, the business of independent publishing, and the strange interior life of making things up for a living.
Six days a week, five minutes at a time, L.J. Ribar — novelist, publisher, and founder of Wine Glass Press — takes one idea and follows it to the end. How stories find their shape. What culture is actually saying underneath what it's saying. The real economics of putting a book into the world. The research rabbit holes that end up on page one. The moments of uncertainty nobody talks about.
No guests. No panels. No homework.
Just a voice that's been doing this for forty-five years, and the things that voice notices.
New episodes daily.
