A special episode with Esperanza Hope Snyder and Marines Alvarez! Esperanza is an accomplished poet and the author of the novel Orange Wine. Marines is a popular book influencer and the tastemaker at the head of Mareas, the imprint at Bindery Books that acquired Esperanza’s novel. 

We chat about the new publishing model at Bindery Books, how Marines built her following as a book influencer on YouTube and TikTok, and, of course, Esperanza’s twenty-year journey to publishing Orange Wine (which releases September 30, 2025!).
