Today on Middle Grade Mavens, we have another great bonus for you.

We chat with Susannah Chambers of Allen and Unwin, about the changing face of the Children's Book Publishing world during Covid19.

We also chat with Kate O'Donnell, Children's Bookseller at the Younger Sun Book shop, Yarraville, Victoria, about the changing face of book selling in this difficult time.
