If you’re anything like me, you may have an unhealthy obsession with following book industry drama. Anything from authors falling from grace to publishers getting greedy keeps me glued to social media. And if there’s a name-and-shame game involved … well, let’s just say, I pop some popcorn and get super comfy to watch the drama unfold.
Enter Missing Pages to satiate my desire to know all about plagiarism scandals, gatekeeping, and all the other nitty, gritty bits about the world of books.
Missing Pages is an all-new investigative podcast hosted by world-renowned literary critic and publishing insider Bethanne Patrick. Across its eight-episode debut season, Missing Pages uncovers the power struggles, mistaken identities, and unfathomably bad behavior within the secretive world of book publishing. Each episode brings in authors, experts, publishing insiders, and a circus of NYC media elites to tell the real story; unfit for print.
