As writers, why do we publish at all? Is it for the accolades or for something more pure? If you write to publish, can it still be called art? Author and senior editor at HarperCollins Austin Ross joins us to discuss the balancing act between art and commerce, he tells us his agent horror story, and why he finally decided to publish with an independent press. Plus, we hear from his novel Gloria Patri from Malarkey Books and The Inner Loop Author’s Corner August spotlight. Then, Austin teaches us the importance of eating the frog.
