A book show for all Paperback Writers (and readers). Featuring book reviews, interviews with local, Australian & international authors, new releases, literary awards, novel ideas and a lot of book-themed puns!
We're a (very) small social enterprise based in the Blue Mountains, west of Sydney. Run by a couple of avid readers and our dog Echo, with the vital support of a small group of supporters, we've managed to combine our love of reading with our passion for supporting refugees & asylum seekers.
We do this through fundraising and by donating 50% of our profit to charities supporting refugees & asylum seekers. And we're the hosts of the "Paperback Writer" show on Radio Blue Mountains 89.1FM!
