Podcast: How does a publisher find a new voice?
Elisabeth Scharlatt, publisher of Algonquin Books, and Manuel Muñoz, author of The Faith Healer of Olive Avenue, discuss the hurdles and biases Muñoz encountered along his way to publication. Muñoz's roots in California's Central Valley and his concern with voicing the stories of the Valley shed light on his process and work.
From KWLS 2008, New Voices. (45:13) includes 5 minute Q&A. Muñoz reads briefly from Lindo y Querido at (8:14-11:20).
