Listen "Book Bits: Authors Angry at Barnes & Noble's New Policy"

Episode Synopsis

 This is a podcast where Lisa analyzes literature and discusses several bookish topics. This week, Lisa released a Book Bits episode about Barnes & Noble's new policy regarding its effort to reduce the types of new books they’re selling.  Authors have posted online, including Kelly Yang, author of the Front Porch Desk series, along with author Kalynn Bayron who is releasing a new book this fall named:  The Vanquishers.  Britney S. Lewis’s debut novel, The Undead Truth of Us, was told it would not be shelved at Barnes & Noble.  Several articles, including Book Riot and Publishers Marketplace, delve into how this policy means fewer middle-grade and debut authors will get their books on the shelves at Barnes & Noble. *The book titles mentioned include affiliate links.
