Got a book? Let’s talk about it.
Ink, Coffee, and Regrets is a podcast and blog about books, writing, and the beautiful struggle of getting words on paper. BookTalk is where I put one book in the spotlight, and I’m always on the lookout for the next one. If you’ve written something you’re proud of, I’d love to hear about it.

I read and consider
I look at every submission, I promise. If your book seems like a good fit for the show, and most are, I’ll write to you about getting a copy and picking a date.

We talk about it on BookTalk
Your book becomes the focus of a BookTalk episode, with a post on the site that points listeners straight to you.
What I’m looking for
- Fiction and nonfiction. Recent BookTalk picks have ranged from a science-fiction anthology to memoir and historical fiction.
- Independent and self-published authors are welcome, along with small presses.
- Books that are already out, or releasing in the next few months.
- Something real to talk about: characters, themes, craft, or the story behind the writing.
Good to know
- There’s no fee, ever. BookTalk episodes are not paid placements.
- I’ll tell listeners what I genuinely think, so I can’t promise a rave.
- I can’t feature every book, and a “not this time” is usually about timing or fit, not your writing.
- Please don’t send manuscripts or attachments. A link and a short description are plenty.
Questions you might have
Do I have to pay to be featured?
No. There’s no cost and no fee of any kind.
Do I need to send a copy of the book now?
Not yet. If your book is a fit, I’ll contact you about the best way to get a copy. Print, ebook, and audiobook all work.
How soon will I hear back?
I do my best to answer everyone, but I can’t promise a timeline. Thank you for your patience.
Can I submit a book that isn’t out yet?
If it’s releasing in the next few months, yes. Otherwise, check back closer to launch.
Will you interview me?
Sometimes. If you’d be open to a conversation about writing your book, tick the box on the form and I’ll keep it in mind.
