Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Book publishers typically look for the next best-seller, but not everyone sees a novel’s value in its sales potential. We meet a publisher and author with a unique twist on the commerce of fiction: he’s giving books away for free. The catch? He wants you to donate to charity or to someone in need.
Guests
- Stona Fitch Founder of Concord Free Press; author "Give + Take" (Thomas Dunne Books / St. Martin's Press)
- Gregory Maguire Best-selling author "Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West"; and the forthcoming book "The Next Queen of Heaven" (Concord Free Press)
