Story Cafe is a podcast for book lovers, aspiring writers, good conversation, and anyone fascinated by the art of storytelling.

Each episode features candid author interviews exploring the books they had to write, the inspiration behind their stories, and the creative process that brings unforgettable characters and worlds to life. From bestselling authors to emerging voices, Story Cafe celebrates the power of books and the people who create them.

Hosted by Crystal Canney

As a first-time novelist, I also share my own publishing journey—from finishing a manuscript and searching for a literary agent to navigating the challenges and triumphs of becoming a published author. Along the way, you’ll find honest conversations about writing, publishing, creativity, perseverance, and the craft of storytelling.

Whether you’re looking for your next great read, conversations on significant issues, insights from your favorite authors, or a behind-the-scenes look at the publishing world, pull up a chair. There’s always room at the Story Cafe table.
