Middle Grade Authors, Christianity, and Publishing, with J.D. Peabody
Tuesday Jun 04, 2024
Tuesday Jun 04, 2024
Part two of our "all the right books"/summer reading series.
As always, please do give us a five-star review on iTunes if you like this podcast.
J.D. Peabody joins Chris once again to talk about the state of Christian middle-grade publishing. You can find his article/interview for Christianity Today on the same subject here. It is well worth reading.
Among other things, we discuss:
- Current changes to traditionally published Middle Grade fiction
- How those changes apply to Christian Middle Grade fiction
- What would The Chronicles of Narnia and The Hobbit have to change to be published today?
- Redacting books
- "On the Reading of Old Books," by C.S. Lewis
- The rise of independent publishing/self-publishing
- Helping your child develop good judgment
- Book recommendations
- Advice for modern Christian Middle Grade authors
- Monty Python, of course (or maybe just John Cleese?)
Feel free to follow us @inklingsvarietyhour for more summer reading recommendations (both for grown-ups and children).
