This week on the podcast we’re joined by author, audiobook narrator, puppeteer, and podcaster (among many other things), Mary Robinette Kowal. I had the pleasure of seeing Mary give a keynote address at the Surrey International Writers’ Conference, except she gave it in an incredibly unique way – through her puppet. It was such a […]
Today on the podcast we’re joined by all around BADASS, Hannah Cree. I don’t say that lightly – I left my hour long interview with Hannah completely blown away by the work that she does as a social entrepreneur with her business Common Good linens. Not only is it a linen service, but they provide jobs […]
Truth be told, I first heard about Jane Porter when I was registering for very first attendance at the Surrey International Writers’ Conference. As part of the attendee package, you get what’s called a Blue Pencil session with a published author or an editor. You ideally want to sign up with someone that writes or […]
I had the absolute pleasure of meeting Liza Palmer at the Surrey International Writers’ Conference. She moderated a panel session that I attended, and then I had the pure luck of sitting at her table at lunch that day where I learned how funny, quirky and witty this woman is! Liza is an Emmy-nominated writer, […]
Imagine you’re in a job that pays well… really well. It’s an okay job. By many peoples’ standards you’ve got the ideal life. You occasionally get to travel with work, you have a lot of responsibility and it affords you the little luxuries that you want. But the golden handcuffs make it hard to admit […]
2017. The year that I read more books than I’ve ever read before. Also the year that I’ve been the busiest in terms of work, having a toddler, podcasting, training to be a health/life coach, attempting to keep this blog going (sorry about that!), writing my book, etc. I’ve said it before, I’ll say it […]
Today on the podcast we’re joined by my good friend, Anita Hofer. Anita shares her career journey, her current role in communications and what it means to her, the struggles of modern day parenting and the lessons that she’s focused on teaching her girls. We also talk about her 40th birthday adventure on the Camino […]
So, you’re considering podcasting. Now what? If you’re reading this post, you very well might be one of the people who took my Podcasting 101 workshop at When Words Collide. If you’re not, welcome anyways! The goal of this post is to replace a bullet point PowerPoint presentation and be a resource that you can […]
Ever since coming across the hilarious and aptly named blog Not Wed or Dead, I’ve been a fan of Katy Colins. Katy was essentially jilted by her fiance not long before their wedding. It sounds like a movie, right? Well, what Katy did next showed she has the guts and the strength to be the […]
Long-time followers of the blog might remember a very early post where I interviewed Kate Hilton over Skype to talk about her first book, The Hole in the Middle. I’m slightly freaked out to link to the initial post because I was SUCH a baby blogger, but here you go (not even a photo!). See […]
