On today’s episode I talk to Kate Lloyd, otherwise known as @lilliytales on bookstagram. Kate is the Marketing Manager for Text Publishing Australia and is one of the original bookstagram accounts.

We chat about Kate’s intro to bookstagram and I have a fan girl moment too! We chat about our Last, Now, Next reads and we deep dive into the publishing world! Kate answers some questions about the mysterious world of publishing- how booksta accounts can receive ARCs, what is the etiquette in regards to posting before a books publications date and what publishers look for in active bookstagram accounts.
