Kids Ask Authors

A 5-10 minute weekly podcast where Grace and a guest author answer one question from a child reader. Episodes end with a kid book review or a joke! A podcast useful to all student writers and those helping them on their journey! Kids can also submit their questions, book reviews, short stories, poems or jokes to be on the podcast!

Book Friends Forever

Children's book publishing’s secrets are revealed as we listen in on fascinating, unguarded, insider discussion from two uniquely qualified best friends: award-winning author and illustrator Grace Lin, and one of NYC’s top editors, Alvina Ling. Go behind the scenes of kid lit and catch a glimpse of the lives of the best-selling author and editor, and the relationship between them.

kidlitwomen*

A podcast of interviews and essays focusing on women's and gender issues, including non-binary and gender fluidity, in the children’s literature community and all its intersectionality! In January 2020, Grace retired this podcast with the kidlitwomen* scholarship--a scholarship for a Woman of Color with a passion for illustrating for children to attend a qualifying Highlights Foundation workshop. The scholarship includes full tuition to a Highlights Foundation workshop for illustrators plus a travel stipend of up to $500. The 101 episodes of kidlitwomen* remain available to listen to on Apple Podcasts and the kidlitwomen* website.
