Every book carries two stories: the one on the page and the one behind it. Life on Words is a conversation about the second kind — what a life spent writing, selling, editing, or simply loving books actually costs, and what it gives back. Guests are working writers, agents, booksellers, and other book people at every stage of the journey.

Your host

Life on Words grows out of Terry Heath's own life on words: years as a college English instructor, a bookseller, an events planner, and countless conversations with writers and readers. Terry runs White Rabbit Book Co. and the Inkhorn Writers' Conference.
