The Secret World of Books - Details, episodes & analysis
Podcast details
Technical and general information from the podcast's RSS feed.


Behind every book there’s a story. A podcast about why books matter by the people who make them. Hosts Karen Sullivan and Amanda Sedaka are joined by special guests to dig deep into the questions that readers and writers want answered most: How are books are made? What does an editor really do? Why do some brilliant books disappear? Who decides which books get pushed? How much power does BookTok really have? Why does a cover matter so much? And what makes a bookshop survive? Every book begins long before it reaches your hands.
This is a podcast about the people, passion, craft and care behind the books we love – and why reading still matters.
