A Mighty Blaze
When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, bestselling authors Jenna Blum and Caroline Leavitt created A Mighty Blaze, an online literary organization designed to offer author interviews, to connect writers and readers, and to help all literary endeavors pivot to the digital age.

Kimberly co-hosted and produced a weekly show called Authors Love Bookstores to help promote authors and independent bookstores. Along with co-host Joe Moldover, we featured conversations between bestselling and award-winning authors and the independent bookstores they admire in the US (all 50 states, plus Puerto Rico and Washington, DC!), Canada, and the UK, broadcasting on A Mighty Blaze’s Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter channels. Please watch all 155+ interviews here. Links to the shows Kimberly hosted can be found below. A list of episodes by state can be found here. And check out the Blaze in Publishers Weekly!

Kimberly also hosted other programs for A Mighty Blaze, including: a special presentation on parenting and creativity, a baking show, and the Frontliner Interview (links to those conversations can be found below).

Several interviews have been featured on A Mighty Blaze’s podcast, including: Judy Blume, Jenny Lawson, Maggie O’Farrell, Gin Phillips, Weina Dai Randel, Curtis Sittenfeld, Margaret Wilkerson Sexton, and Diana Gabaldon.
