Beyond The Plot Podcast

Lisa El-Behnaihy

Booking Overview

This is an author-focused interview show covering writing journeys, publishing, books, and the personal stories behind fiction, with regular conversations with novelists across genres. Agencies could credibly pitch published authors—especially those with a new book, distinctive creative process, career-transition story, or practical publishing insight—and booking difficulty is likely low because the guest profile centers on accessible professional authors rather than major celebrities.
