Meet the Author: A Graffeg podcast
We're so excited to be sharing that this year we have been venturing into the world of podcasting. We wanted to give our readers a chance to have an insight into the publishing processes here at Graffeg and get some exclusive takes from some of our wonderful authors.
This series will consist of 1 hour long interviews highlighting some of brilliant new titles covering all areas of our publishing catalogue. These interviews cover all the areas of our publishing from nature to food and children’s to photography, so there is something for everyone. Come and meet the authors behind some of your favourite titles and learn more about their upcoming books.
