The Bookshop Podcast began as a speaker series, grew into a podcast, and in 2022 we presented our first writing workshop with Rosa Rogers, a Doctor of Philosophy in The Contemporary Novel: Practice as Research.
TBP is an interview-style weekly show where host Mandy Jackson-Beverly speaks to authors, independent bookshop owners, specialists in social justice and the environment, and booksellers worldwide. Her guests are well-researched, and her interviews focus on community, culture, and books.
Mandy is a confessed bibliophile and believes independent bookshops are the gems of communities and authors are the rock stars of the literary world. She profoundly understands and appreciates what it takes to write a book and present it to readers and is instinctively curious and enjoys connecting with her guests.
