BONUS EPISODE!! Elin Hilderbrand Interviews Zibby!

In this bonus episode (a live event at the Nantucket Atheneum!), beloved #1 New York Times bestselling author Elin Hilderbrand interviews Zibby about her bestselling debut novel BLANK. Zibby describes her journey in the literary world, from this podcast’s humble beginnings to breaking into publishing and opening a bookstore—always with a desire to treat authors like rockstars. She also delves into her trajectory as a writer, reflecting on the rejections she faced at the beginning, the personal losses that inspired her memoir, BOOKENDS, and the relentless determination that led to the publication of BLANK. Finally, she and Elin discuss the realities of being an author in today’s market—from the emphasis on marketing to the importance of social media (and BookTok!).
