Hello Reader,

I'm excited to tell you about something new I've been working on behind the scenes!

It's called Library Binding, and it's a literary meet-'n'-greet in 10 pictures or less.

I'm interviewing authors, publishers, editors, readers, teachers, librarians—anyone who works in the book world.

But, my interviews aren't your typical text-heavy affairs. Nor are they podcasts that you never quite get around to listening to...

They're visual interviews—done in eye-catching, scannable graphics.

​Here's my first interview. I interviewed myself. I was my first interview. (I know.)

But even if you've been around The Book Devotions for a while, you'll likely learn something about me you didn't already know. For example, which theme park did I work at in college? What is my top bookish pet peeve? Where do I stand on the pressing issue of Dumbledore vs. Gandalf?

My hope (and prayer) is that Library Biding will introduce you to your next favorite author, book reviewer, or literary soul mate.

You'll also walk away from each interview with a handful of stellar book recommendations, and who doesn't love that? 📚📚📚

​I'm hosting Library Binding on Substack.​

Why? The sharing and commenting features! Also, Substack has done a great job of cultivating a writer-friendly platform.

Would you like to do an interview with me or nominate someone for an interview?

I created Library Binding to shine a spotlight on the good work that people are doing in the book world. If that's you, please reply to this email. I'd love to hear from you.

Library Binding is 100 percent free. To subscribe AND to get featured. (Keep your dollars to buy books.)

Thank you for being here, my friend.

I strive to make this a bright spot in your literary life, and I'm so grateful to have you as part of this community of readers.

Your devoted,

Michelle
