ABOUT YOUR HOST

I’m Allison Trowbridge — author turned publishing entrepreneur + your Meet the Author host.

I started this podcast because I was tired of the generic publishing advice and the conversations that feel more like marketing scripts than real stories.

Every episode, I pull back the curtain on what it actually takes to write and release a book that matters — the messy drafts, the breakthroughs, the pivots in structure or style, and the moment an author finally says, “This is the story I need to tell.” Whether I’m in conversation with a bestselling author or an emerging voice, this isn’t about playing it safe. It’s about the courage, craft, and clarity it takes to bring a book into the world — and the lessons we can all take into our own creative journeys.
