Page One is one of my favourite podcasts so it was an absolute pleasure to be invited back for a catch up 3 years after the Justice of Kings was published
A week off from our industry episodes as we catch up with @richardswanauthor.bsky.social to find out what he's been up to since we last spoke (3 years ago!), and hear about 5 books that influenced his own writing.

Another fantastic episode from this great season of publishing folks on @ukpageone.bsky.social. I really enjoy Phoebe's newsletter 'The Honest Editor' and this discussion was just as illuminating.
