  • Great interview

    Kara’s format allowed for a much more in depth discussion of how my novel fit into the current literary landscape. She is a polished navigator of all things fiction and comes well prepared for an in depth discussion. Honored to be invited to talk about TANGLES. Thanks again!!

  • Amazing experience

    I had the most amazing experience with Kara and Bookish Flights, both as a writer and a listener! I had prepared myself for my interview by listening to at least 5 flights by fellow writers and the quality of the questions and the flow of the podcast was just tremendous! It was a pleasure to listen to and made me think. More importantly it turned me on to so many extraordinary books I never knew. Love Bookish Flights
