  • 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

    I love her podcast so much especially the video episodes. I love how I’ve read almost all of the books that she does episodes on and I would really love it. If you could do more of the buy it borrow it skip it sections with special guests.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#46: The Off Campus Storyline Louisa Levy Refused to Cut
Q: How did you know this is something you wanted to be a part of?
I approached it with curiosity about how a hockey romance could translate to TV, listened to the books to understand the core relationships, and quickly realized the project had heart, strong character arcs, and a built-in fan base that could translate well to a series with the right cast and crew.
#47: What Everyone Gets Wrong About Writing With Dyslexia with Haley-Grace McCormick
Q: What inspired the emotional core of The Enemy of Time and its emphasis on living in the present?
Personal journals and early heartbreak shaped the emotional spine, leading to the central idea that the present is what matters and that time can be an enemy we must outpace.
#47: What Everyone Gets Wrong About Writing With Dyslexia with Haley-Grace McCormick
Q: How did your writing process adapt to managing ADHD and dyslexia while crafting your story?
The ADHD helps with speed and momentum, while dyslexia aids pattern recognition and plotting; dictation and talking through scenes allowed the words to flow, which I later organized into a coherent draft.
#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.
