    S7 Ep9: An Author’s Advice: Careers in the Publishing Industry
    Jan 7 2025
    Join co-hosts Megan Riksen and Grace Joaquin as they sit down with Caitlin Horrocks, author of one of Wall Street Journal’s Top Ten Books of 2019 and member of the GVSU Writing Department, to talk about all things books! From discussing her writing process to giving listeners advice on breaking into the publishing industry, Caitlin unshelves all the secrets to a successful writing career. This book-ish edition of the Work Like a Laker podcast is impossible to put down once you start listening, so get cozy and hit play!

    Caitlin Horrocks recommends the following books:
    • West: A Translation by Paisley Rekdal (GVSU’s 2024 Poetry Night speaker): a genre-bending, genre-blending mix of poetry, nonfiction, images, and more, exploring the building of the transcontinental railroad through a chorus of different voices.
    • To Name the Bigger Lie by Sarah Viren: subtitled “a memoir in two stories,” the book explores unexpected connections between Viren’s memories of a charismatic, unsettling high school teacher, and, decades later, anonymous accusations made against her wife that trigger a Title IX investigation and upend their lives. It’s a compelling personal story with important things to say about truth, facts, and fakes.
    • Dearborn by Ghassan Zeineddine: this is a funny, sharp, moving debut short story collection set in the Arab American community in Dearborn, Michigan. Even if you don’t normally read short stories, I think you’ll find a lot to enjoy. My personal favorite is “Speedoman,” in which a mysterious man becomes an object of obsession at the local pool.
