A WORD ON WORDS, Nashville Public Television’s Emmy Award-winning reboot of its classic series, is a collection of three-minute interviews about books and other literary topics. Filmed in locations around Middle Tennessee, the series continues a tradition established by legendary journalist John Seigenthaler for more than 40 years.

"I do want my books to talk about things that are important but also to draw the reader in and I feel like those moments of crisis are really the inflection point that really make the story run. They're sort of like the gas on which the the engine of fiction turns." Author Celeste Ng talks to host Mary Laura Philpott about "Little Fires Everywhere" on NPT's A WORD ON WORDS.

A Word on Words would like to thank Judy and Steve Turner for their generous support.
