Welcome to the Shelf Reflection Podcast with your host, public librarian and aspiring author Thomas. We’ll chat with authors about their publication journeys, their writing processes, and how they take an idea and turn it into a final product.  

This podcast is for everyone who has dreamed of writing a novel, loves learning about the creative process, or enjoys hearing authors talking in depth about their work.
