Hi, I'm Zibi Owens, and you're listening to Moms Don't Have Time to Read Books.

This 30-minute podcast features a new author interviewed by me every single day, 365 days a year, for about 30 minutes.

I am also the publisher for Zibi Books, which publishes 12 books a year in fiction and memoir.

Our books are already out now.

You can check it out on ZippyBooks.com.

And we have a magazine called Zibby Mag where we have lots of wonderful essays and lifestyle

features.

That's at Zibbymag.com.

We have classes at Zippy Classes.com.

And I recently opened a bookstore in L.A. called Zibby's Bookshop

at 1-1-1-3 Montana Avenue at 11th Street in San Monica. I hope that you are able to enjoy some of

our other offerings. But this here podcast is the basis of all of it and started in 2018.

And no matter what I do, this is basically my favorite thing. Enjoy.
