The Children's Book Podcast

Matthew C. Winner

Booking Overview

Interview-focused children's literature coverage features authors, illustrators, literary agents, publishers, and other professionals involved in creating and bringing children's books to market. A PR agency could credibly pitch published children's authors and illustrators, publishing executives, editors, literary agents, and book-industry experts; booking is likely medium difficulty because the show attracts established industry figures but operates within a focused niche.
