Jennifer shares the original seed of inspiration for the story and the world events that expanded its scope. The two also talk about Jennifer's inspiring career trajectory, what they've each learned about the publishing industry that they never knew as outsiders, and which books Jennifer is currently reading.Purchase on Amazon or Bookshop.Amazon: https://amzn.to/3eedwAmBookshop: https://bit.ly/3rD2OqgSubscribe to Zibby's weekly newsletter here.Purchase Moms Don't Have Time to Read Books merch here.
