Writers, Ink Podcast: Episode 178 — The one where NYT Bestseller William Landay explains why no writer of any quality can base their work on fact.

Join hosts J.D. Barker, Christine Daigle, JP Rindfleisch IX, Kevin Tumlinson, and Patrick O’Donnell as they discuss the week’s publishing topics, including Bookshop.org’s move into ebooks and an AI-related update pertaining to audiobook voice talent. Then stick around as Christine chats with novelist and former lawyer William Landay about truth (or the lack thereof) in fiction and the crime novel as a great vehicle for exploring universal themes.

William Landay is the author of Defending Jacob, which won the Strand Critics Award for best mystery novel; The Strangler, listed as a best crime novel of the year by the L.A. Times, Daily Telegraph, and others; and Mission Flats, winner of the Dagger Award for best first crime novel. [source] His latest novel, All That Is Mine I Carry With Me, releases tomorrow, March 7, 2023, from Bantam Books.
