Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Grant Ginder, So Old, So Young
Q: Do you have an elevator pitch for the book?
The elevator pitch is five parties, six friends, over 20 years, about how time moves through us and reshapes our relationships.
Jennifer Niven, Meet The Newmans
Q: Can you give us an elevator pitch of Meet the Newmans?
Meet the Newmans follows America's favorite TV family in 1964 as they navigate a rapidly changing world, with the matriarch Dinah stepping into creative leadership when the patriarch is sidelined, exposing the cracks in their glossy image and forcing the family to confront the realities behind the perfection.
Rosie Storey, Dandelion Is Dead
Q: What is it about the book's core emotion or theme that you hoped to convey to readers?
I wanted to explore personal authenticity in the face of grief, showing how characters question safety, life plans, and the pressure to conform to traditional expectations, while still injecting humor and moments of warmth.
Rosie Storey, Dandelion Is Dead
Q: All right. So to get into this, do you have an elevator pitch for the book?
A grieving woman catfishes a man through her dead sister's dating app, which sets the stage for a complex exploration of grief, love, and identity as two people navigate how to live with loss and find themselves.
Patmeena Sabit, Good People
Q: Do you have an elevator pitch for the book?
Good People follows the Sharraf family as Afghan refugees pursuing the American dream, only to see it unravel after a horrific tragedy; the novel foregrounds multiple community voices to examine how culture, immigration, and family honor intersect in a way that resists simple judgments.
