Quillcast is a new podcast series from Quill & Quire featuring behind-the-scenes conversations with authors and publishing insiders. We’ve been recording the sessions at the amazing space, The Orange Lounge in Toronto, where Madonna, Queen Latifah, Kanye West, and Tori Amos have also recorded. But yeah, we’re talking books.
To date, I’ve interviewed authors Andrew Westoll and Charlotte Gill, and book designer CS Richardson. Listen to all three episodes here, or subscribe to the podcast in iTunes here.
