Midnight Cowboy of Writing: Karl Beckstrand

Moscova Media Podcast

Media professor Karl Beckstrand is the bestselling and award-winning author/illustrator of 25 multicultural/multilingual books and more than 60 ebook titles. His western survival thriller, To Swallow the Earth, won a 2016 International Book Award, and his multicultural kids’ books have been lauded by Publisher’s Weekly, Kirkus, The Horn Book, and School Library Journal. Karl's work reflects cultural diversity—not only in protagonists, but in collaborators (his illustrators hail from Latin America, Europe, and Asia). Beckstrand has a B.A. in journalism from BYU, an M.A. in international relations from American Public University, and a broadcast/film certificate from Film A. Academy. He teaches media at a state college and, since 2004, has run Premio Publishing. Beckstrand has presented to Taiwan’s Global Leadership for Youth, city and state governments, festivals, and schools. His Y.A. stories, ebook mysteries, nonfiction, Spanish/bilingual, wordless, career, and STEM books feature ethnically diverse characters—and usually end with a twist. https://PremioBooks.com Full Service Digital Marketing Agency: https://www.moscovaenterprises.com Credit Card Offers: https://milevalue.com/top-offers-me Digital Marketing Course: https://moscovaacademy.thinkific.com Moscova Media Podcast: https://kite.link/moscovamedia IG: https://www.instagram.com/vmoscova
