Today’s 20th Anniversary Author Spotlight is on Lindsay Zier-Vogel, author of Letters to Amelia, and the forthcoming novel The Fun Times Brigade (May 2025).
B*: What does being part of the Book*hug author family mean to you?
LZV: The Book*hug staff takes such incredible care of its authors. The entire process, from pre-acquisition meetings, to editorial feedback, to marketing, planning is done with so much support and generosity. I will never forget opening up Letters to Amelia for the first time and seeing its gorgeous, surprise end papers—blue skies that I totally didn’t know about. Holding my book in print was so exciting and these stunning end papers were icing on the cake.
B*: Can you share another title from the Book*hug catalogue that has left a lasting impression on you as a reader?
LZV: At least once a month for the last five-plus years, I’ve picked up Shannon Bramer’s Precious Energy and Adrienne Gruber’s Q&A. They are two of the most engaging poetry collections I’ve ever read and every time I pick them up, I find something new.
