In this special episode of Beneath the Page, Steve Couch turns the tables on Sophie Beal and sits down to chat with her and editor-at-large, Gary Dalkin, for a conversation about Cadence Publishing – it's why, how and therefore!

The three of them also discuss the unseen work behind a book: shaping manuscripts, refining voice, balancing creative integrity with commercial reality, and building a publishing list with intention. They discuss what editing really means, introducing Christian voices to a secular market, how to know when a book is ready, and why clear vision matters more than ever in today’s crowded marketplace.

And there's an exclusive reveal of the cover of their next book, Clouds Over Bowland by Rosemary Sturge.

A thoughtful look at publishing from the inside – and at the craft that lies beneath the finished page.
