This week Celia is AWOL, but Brigid and Dan are holding down the fort. They discuss Not A Pipe Publishing, a house that has committed itself to only publishing women authors, as well as the gross male YA authors that necessitate such a commitment. Then, Dan talks with poet and writer Sandra Beasley about her work in Washington DC and her how she kept writing while holding down a 9-5 desk job. Plus: The Nebula Award nominees, publishing opportunities, activity in Bloomington's literary scene, and our very first "Book of the Week." Don't forget to support us on Patreon/ko-fi!
