Miriam Landis, LAUREN IN THE LIMELIGHT

Zibby welcomes professional ballerina and faculty member at the Pacific Northwest Ballet, Miriam Landis, to discuss LAUREN IN THE LIMELIGHT, a heart-warming middle-grade novel that revolves around three young dancers in a small-town ballet school in Mercer Island as they navigate the challenges of ballet, including the significant milestone of going on pointe. Miriam shares insights into her writing process during the pandemic, her decision to start her own publishing house, Rhododendron Press, and the importance of authentic representation in literature, especially for the dance community. Purchase on Bookshop: https://bit.ly/476xLFjShare, rate, & review the podcast, and follow Zibby on Instagram @zibbyowens!** Want more?
