  • Absolutely love this podcast!

    I’ve always found podcasts very boring and I never ever listened to them - until I found Off The Shelf! It is the perfect podcast to listen to when I go on walks. It brings me so much joy and comfort, and it feels like I’m hanging out with friends talking about everything in the book world. Even if I have no idea who the guest is, Morgann does a wonderful job asking questions that provoke stimulating and engaging conversation, and by the end of the episode you are left with a new perspective on ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#44: What Nobody Tells You About Going Viral on Wattpad with Jessica Cunsolo
Q: Would you recommend starting on Wattpad to new writers, and what advice would you give your early author self?
I would tell new writers to write what they want to read rather than chasing what they think will sell. Be confident in your voice, don't obsess over perfect first drafts, and allow yourself to have fun with writing while focusing on long-term craft and editing later.
#44: What Nobody Tells You About Going Viral on Wattpad with Jessica Cunsolo
Q: What was it like to watch the book blow up in real time?
It felt wild and surprising because I started posting chapter by chapter, not expecting a massive response. The comments and reader engagement kept me going, and I realized early on that the readers' passion helped shape my journey even as I moved toward a traditional publishing path.
#44: What Nobody Tells You About Going Viral on Wattpad with Jessica Cunsolo
Q: The Blind Date Agreement is your recent book. Can you tell us all what is this book about? What will readers find in this book?
It's a light, funny YA coming-of-age story about Karina, a 17-year-old who feels like the fifth wheel as her friends start dating. She reluctantly goes on a series of dates to avoid feeling left out, while secretly dealing with her own feelings for a friend's boyfriend. The book blends humor with self-growth, angst, found family, and a touch of drama, with a playful tone that still tackles real emotions and relationships.
#43: What Heated Rivalry Revealed About the Bookselling World
Q: What role does BookTok play compared to traditional word-of-mouth among booksellers?
BookTok amplifies trends, but the core driver is in-store conversations and recommendations from passionate booksellers who connect with customers, with TikTok edits acting as a helpful, visual supplement.
#43: What Heated Rivalry Revealed About the Bookselling World
Q: How has Heated Rivalry impacted romance as a whole, especially for queer romance?
It elevated attention to LGBTQ+ romance, encouraging publishers to take the genre more seriously and expanding mainstream visibility for Canadian talent and stories rooted in Canadian landscapes.
