United States3 months ago - A much-needed middle grade specific podcast
Shannon’s podcast fills a notable void in the kidlit podcast world! Well done, Shannon, for crafting an excellent format and for hosting some of the up and coming as well as the more established names in middle grade writing. As an aspiring middle grade writer myself, this is my favorite podcast to listen to!
