OM DENNE EPISODE
In this episode of Hope Prose, Tara has the joy of speaking with one of her favourite literary citizens: not a writer, but a voracious reader, friend, husband to Ruth, father, and her beloved agent, Don Pape.
Don is the founder of Pape Commons, a collaborative and creative community that leans into each other and embraces one another’s gifts. Bringing over thirty years of experience from publishers such as Doubleday, the Random House imprint, and WaterBrook, Don pairs his passion for excellent stories and ideas with a mission to bring those voices to the readers who need them.
Listen in as they discuss what makes a story stand the test of time, which stories have resonated most closely with Don, how stories can serve different purposes for us across our lifespan, and why we need to continue creating.
