Original Air Date: February 14, 2020

Arthur A. Levine, head of Levine Querido and a publisher and advocate responsible for bringing many widely loved books in our world and in front of our readers, joins to share insights from his journey so far. Arthur previews his Fall 2020 titles as well as what else is to come from Levine Querido. Our conversation looks broadly at publishing and at the world, but it also focuses on that one reader that needs the book you’re publishing. The one that needs to know they’re not alone in their experiences or in the world. To quote Arthur, “sometimes healing the world is healing one person.” Joining us also is Susan Kusel, synagogue librarian, book seller, and author.

Listen along:
