Grace Lin is an award-winning and NY Times bestselling author/illustrator of picture books, early readers and middle grade novels.

She is also a podcaster. Her first called Kid Lit Women is a“podcast of interviews and essays focusing on women's and gender issues, including non-binary and gender fluidity, in the children’s literature community and all its intersectionality.”

Her second podcast is Book Friends Forever is describe like this on its website: “Children's book publishing’s secrets are revealed as we listen in on fascinating, unguarded, insider discussion from two uniquely qualified best friends: award-winning author/illustrator Grace Lin, and one of NYC’s top editors, Alvina Ling. Go behind the scenes of kid lit and catch a glimpse of the lives of the best-selling author and editor, and the relationship between them.”

Recently she announced a new podcast called Kids Ask Authors. On the Facebook Event looking for podcast participants she writes “On Kids Ask Authors, popular children’s and middle-grade authors and illustrators answer questions from child readers, and every episode ends with a kid book review! We think this podcast will be useful to all student creators and readers, as well those helping them on their journey.

As someone who is a fan of Grace Lin’s books and podcasts I am looking forward to this new one. To learn more about Grace Lin watch the videos below.
