Hi, listeners. We have totally booked live coming up this fall, and I hope you'll be a part of it.

We have three events in New York City, September 19th, 25th, and 30th, in New York, where I'll be doing six interviews live each day.

We also have a petite retreat in Greenwich on October 4th.

Go to Zibbimedia.com and event or and or event bright and search the events

and please come. I can't wait to meet you in person.

Hi, this is Zibi Owens and you're listening to Totally Booked with Zibi.

Formerly, moms don't have time to read books. In my daily show, I interview

today's latest, best-selling, buzziest, or underrated authors and story creators, whose work

and follow me on Instagram at Zibby Owens.

a publication of Pi Theta Kappa Honor Society. The same organization named her the first

Emily advocates for herself and members of her community in an effort to misspell the

misconceptions and non-acceptance
