This week, I’ve got Joy back on the show with me as we talk about her course, Create a Discussion Guide for Your Book. We’ve all seen lists of discussion questions in the back of books, but have you ever considered creating such a guide for your own book?
Joy talks about why discussion guides matter–and not just for children’s and YA, what makes a good discussion question, and the inspiration behind her course. Have a listen!
And if this has convinced you it’s time to learn more about discussion guides, you can find Joy’s course here.
