Welcome to Behind The Debut, a podcast to shine a light on first-time authors and their incredible journeys to publication. I’m your host, Michelle Reeves, a traditionally and self-published author myself, and I love chatting with other writers. If you’ve ever dreamed of writing a book, wondered how authors make it happen, or just love hearing the behind-the-scenes stories of debut writers, then this is the podcast for you!
Most bookish podcasts focus on established, bestselling authors—but what about those at the very start of their journey? That’s where Behind The Debut comes in.
Each episode, I’ll be talking to a debut author about their experience—how they got started, the obstacles they faced, and what it really took to bring their first book into the world. You’ll hear about the highs, the lows, the lessons learned, and the moments that made it all worthwhile.
If you’re a writer yourself, you’ll find plenty of inspiration and insight into what it’s really like to go from blank page to published book. And if you’re a reader, you’ll get to discover incredible new authors before they hit the bestseller lists.
So, whether you're looking for motivation for your own writing journey or just love hearing about the creative process, I’d love for you to join me. Subscribe now to Behind The Debut on your favourite podcast platform, and don’t forget to follow along for new episodes.
