Life lessons and publishing trends with Lisa Sharkey Senior VP Director of Creative Development Harper Collins.

Catherine Milne

Featuring: novels that make her cry, how to get through acquisitions, the joyous dance of editing and publishing books that have the rare combination of being both commercial and literary.Catherine has worked in publishing for many years, including with Penguin Books, Pan Macmillan, Allen &amp; Unwin, and since 2012, with HarperCollins, where she is Head of Fiction. She has an eclectic list, publishing across fiction and non-fiction. Recent standouts include Julia Baird’s bestselling 'Phosphorescence'; Vicki Laveau-Harvie’s Stella Prize-winning memoir 'The Erratics'; Catherine McKinnon’s Miles Franklin-shortlisted 'Storyland'; Stan Grant’s acclaimed 'Talking to My Country'; and Trent Dalton’s phenomenal 'Boy Swallows Universe'. Her rule of thumb in publishing is that a book has got to make her feel something – she wants to feel passionately invested in everything she publishes. It’s all about heart, soul, meaning and joy.

Meg Mason

Hello and welcome back to Dish podcast. I hope isolation is treating you well. We’ve just heard in Sydney that we can now have a friend over at our house, so I’m doing just that with my guest today. Meg Mason is an author, journalist, humourist and my friend. She’s written for the Financial Times and Vogue, Elle and countless others and she’s written two books with another, a novel, out this year.   In this episode of Dish with Kate Gibbs, Meg jokes of her ability to turn any recipe into something akin to bolognese, but as a mother of two teenagers, she’s had to learn some tricks to sating their ravenous appetites over the years. She tell stories of coping with their current vegetarian status and shows us how it's done. She makes nut loaf roast, and puts beans and pulses in almost everything. We learn how to take motherhood cooking in your stride. Also, we learn how to do a desk lunch from this seasoned freelancer, who has worked from home most of her career. There’s so much to take from this hilariously funny, clever writer, mum of two, and home cook.   You can preorder her latest novel, Sorrow and Bliss, a Harper Collins book, from Booktopia and other places books are sold today. I hope you enjoy this episode, I loved this intimate and funny, funny conversation about food and motherhood.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Travis Rieder

On a spring day in 2015, Dr. Travis Rieder’s life changed. A motorcycle accident, a shattered foot, and a long series of surgeries later, the John Hopkins University bioethicist had a far deeper understanding of opioid use in America than he ever planned. In his new book In Pain: A Bioethicist’s Personal Struggle with Opioids(Harper Collins, 2019), Rieder shares the story of his accident and treatment, while also exploring the complicated history of opioid use in the United States, the challenge of treating something as subjective as pain, and alternatives to our reliance on these drugs. His recommendations—for medical practitioners and for individual patients—are insightful and necessary as America continues to grapple with the unanticipated effects of widespread opioid use.Emily Dufton is a drug historian and the author of Grass Roots: The Rise and Fall and Rise of Marijuana in America (Basic Books, 2017).   Learn more about your ad choices.

Brian VanDeMark

Many books have been written on the tragic decisions regarding Vietnam made by the young stars of the Kennedy and Johnson administrations. Yet despite millions of words of analysis and reflection, no historian has been able to explain why such decent, brilliant, and previously successful men stumbled so badly.That changes with The Road to Disaster: A New History of America’s Descent Into Vietnam (Harper Collins, 2018). Historian Brian VanDeMark, a professor of history at the United States Naval Academy, draws upon decades of archival research, his own interviews with many of those involved, and a wealth of previously unheard recordings by Robert McNamara and Clark Clifford, who served as Defense Secretaries for Kennedy and Johnson. Yet beyond that, Road to Disaster is also the first history of the war to look at the cataclysmic decisions of those in the Kennedy and Johnson administrations through the prism of recent research in cognitive science, psychology, and organizational theory to explain why the “Best and the Brightest” became trapped in situations that suffocated creative thinking and willingness to dissent, why they found change so hard, and why they were so blind to their own errors.An epic history of America’s march to quagmire, Road to Disaster is a landmark in scholarship and a book of immense importance.
