On this episode, I interview Robyn Field, author of Peony Watercolor's Wish for Sun and Moon, and Karin Hoyle, CEO, Acquisitions Editor, and Creative Director of Owl's Nest Publishers, a small press independent publishing house based outside Madison, Wisconsin, about the process of creating and publishing a middle grade book. Robyn shares her journey as a writer and how she found a home for her book with Owl's Nest, and Karin talks about the founding of Owl's Nest and their focus on publishing books for teen and middle grade readers.
