In today's new episode I chat with John August, a screenwriter, devoted reader, and author of a brand-new (or soon-to-be) middle grade novel. As of this morning, John also has a brand new podcast out in the world: it's called LAUNCH, and as someone who loves all the details about how books are born, I can't wait to listen.
