S6 Ep205: Kate and Katherine Catch up (Money!) + Featured Book River Sing Me Home by Eleanor Shearer

This episode the hosts talk money. They discuss the writing incomes, the podcast's  'money story' and how it's changed over time, including the move to having some paid content. Also -- the difference between publicity and marketing, which FINALLY the two of them seem to be across. Our Featured Book is brought to you by Hachette and we are delighted to be talking to Eleanor Shearer about her debut novel River Sing Me Home. Eleanor Shearer is a mixed-race writer and the granddaughter of Windrush generation immigrants. She splits her time between London and Ramsgate on the English coast so that she never has to go too long without seeing the sea. For her master’s degree in politics at the University of Oxford, Eleanor studied the legacy of slavery and the case for reparations, and her fieldwork in St. Lucia and Barbados helped inspire her debut novel, River Sing Me Home.Eleanor recommends debut novel 28 Questions by Indyana Schneider.
