What happens when an author, Liz Keller Whitehurst, has written an exciting book, Messenger, that hasn't yet found its publishing home? The clock is ticking. The author gets itchy and she begins to wonder: Maybe there's another way? Liz has her book read and recorded professionally with gorgeous sound accompaniment, and releases it by episode as a series of podcasts. And the world starts to listen, and listen, and listen some more. Until our author realises that she has discovered a way that Messenger was perhaps meant to be released. Its widespread popularity translated to over a thousand downloads. And then, Warner Publishing had the wisdom to realize that many readers still want to hold a beautiful book in their hands, and that Messenger could be transformed once again.

Hear Liz Whitehurst document the journey that has the publishing world's attention and has captivated the imagination of authors and readers everywhere. As Liz writes of her subject:

A Slight Swerve That Changes Everything

“You know that message everybody’s been waiting for their whole lives, as long as they can remember? They’ve looked for it in the mail, e-mail, text, letter, in every book or magazine they’ve ever read. On billboards. In others’ faces. Well, I bring that message. That’s my job. It’s up to me. That’s why I came.”

From Messenger’s Composition Book, MESSENGER

We'll find out how Liz created the slight swerve that changed everything for her; how she intuited what needed to be done, and how she did it. Delving into the query of if Messenger has more messages and how we'll find them, Drop In this week. Its a Godsend!
