    Between the Lines: Alan Opts Out
    Nov 10 2026
    Podcast guest Courtney Maum joins us for one of our mini-episodes, inviting listeners "Between the Lines" with a reading from her critically-acclaimed new novel Alan Opts Out—"a sly, propulsive, and painfully hilarious family drama," according to novelist Caro Claire Burke, author of Yesteryear. Alan Opts Out, published in June 2026 by Little, Brown, was named a Best Book of the Summer by The New York Times, Town & Country, the Los Angeles Times, Goodreads, and LitHub, and is currently being developed as a half-hour HBO series by Emily Kapnek and Bill Lawrence. A longtime writing coach and educator, Courtney leads annual workshops and writing retreats, and teaches online classes to both aspiring and accomplished writers. In addition to her books, her work has appeared in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Guardian, and O, The Oprah Magazine.

    Episode 122: Courtney Maum
    Nov 3 2026
    "Alan Opts Out is a smart, funny, and all-too-timely tale of Americans on the edge of collapse," writes best-selling journalist and novelist Elizabeth Gilbert, author of the runaway international best-seller Eat, Pray, Love. "[Courtney] Maum delivers wry humor without sacrificing compassion, offering what is both a share satire and also a surprisingly tender portrayal of people who are way, way over their heads, and just trying to be free." That's high praise for our latest podcast guest… and well-deserved. In addition to Alan Opts Out, Courtney Maum is the author of five previous books, including I Am Having So Much Fun Here Without You and Touch. She is also the author of the groundbreaking publishing guidebook Before and After the Book Deal, which features contributions and insights from over 150 best-selling authors, as well as leading literary agents, film scouts, and editors. A longtime writing coach and educator, Courtney leads annual workshops and writing retreats, and teaches online classes to both aspiring and accomplished writers. In addition to her books, her work has appeared in The New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, The Guardian, and The Oprah Magazine.

  • Between the Lines: Daphne & Me

    Between the Lines: Daphne & Me
    Oct 27 2026
    "'Frasier' didn't only define a period of my mom's life," writes Isabella Kathryn Coben, in the foreword to the memoir she co-wrote with her mother, the actress Jane Leeves, best known for her role as "Daphne Moon" on the long-running NBC sitcom. "It defined a period of mine." Yes, it did, and in the pages of Daphne & Me: My Life on 'Frasier' (and a Bit More), she helps her mum give voice to her time on the set, and to revisit the stuff of her life and career. As celebrity memoirs go, this one's pretty unique. In our 100+ episodes here at As Told To: The Ghostwriting Podcast, we've yet to feature a mother-daughter collaboration. In this excerpt, offered by Isabella, we can begin to see how this writing partnership frames Jane's story in a singular way, as author and co-author tap a wellspring of memories that are enriched by the moments mother and daughter have already shared, and strengthened by what they learned about each other during the writing process. "Despite being my mother's daughter," Isabella writes, "I've come to find that I can't claim to know her all that well. It's only over the course of the last few years, in the process of writing this book, that I realized I hadn't a clue who this woman really was." The great lesson here? Sometimes it takes rolling up your sleeves and working on a book with someone you love to understand that person better—to figure out where you've been, and where you might be going…together.
