Jennie Godfrey returns as a champion of new voices, discussing Goldsboro’s Fresh Ink subscription and this month’s standout pick Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke, a novel she knew would be “huge” from the very first pages, 

Following the remarkable success of The List of Suspicious Things, Jennie reflects on the reality of becoming a Sunday Times bestseller, the pressure of writing a second novel, and why success doesn’t always feel the way you expect it to.

David and Jennie explore second book syndrome, learning to celebrate the moment, and the lasting impact readers can have on a writer’s journey.
