Show Notes

Today host Cathy Salustri welcomes Colette Bancroft, book editor for the Tampa Bay Times. Listen in as they talk about the Tampa Bay Times annual Festival of Reading (the Festival takes place over seven days this year, via Zoom, Nov. 8-14), why Florida has so many writers, and which book in this year's lineup will make you remove your mindfulness app from your phone. 

About Colette: Colette Bancroft grew up in Tampa and has been the book editor of the Tampa Bay Times for 15 years. She edited the anthology Tampa Bay Noir, and the short story she wrote for that book won an award from the Mystery Writers of America.
