    Hi Adam, i’m a first time author, I’m Heba Shunbo, based in Cairo, Egypt. I would love to be on your podcast. My book is available on Amazon and honestly i think its pretty damn good and funny :D its called Mommy’s Happy Hour.. i’m one of those people who shy away from marketing myself, I self-published my book a few years ago, and did very little to promote it. But honestly i think it’s good to just leave it as is, so I’d like to bring it to people’s attention 🙂

    how could I get to be a guest on your podcast?

    Hi Adam, I would very much like to send you a digital or print ARC of Holly Pester’s The Lodgers, an incredible debut novel about to be released in North America in September, In the UK, where is has just been published, it is receiving rave reviews and we have Holly in North America for publication. This is one of those books that are catching fire for the Fall, I did send a query to the Debutiful website, but wanted to contact you directly as well, to ensure receipt. Here are all details: https://assemblypress.ca/books/p/lodgers

    Best and hope you are having a good summer!

    Hi Adam! Thank you for all the amazing work you do w debut authors, I’m so grateful for my book’s inclusion this year 🙂 I wanted to call your attention to my brilliant friend Grace Byron’s upcoming book HERCULINE, which is out October 2025; Grace writes like nobody else, and if you’re interested, I’d be happy to try to get you a galley. Thanks so much either way xx
