Ep 176: Writing and Publishing Children's Books (with Erin Thorburn)
In this episode, I chat with children's book author and illustrator Erin Thorburn. (She also happens to be my best friend.) We wax not so poetic on book writing, publishing, marketing children's books (her lane, not mine), and navigating the creative industry with humor and properly set expectations.
CONVERSATION HIGHLIGHTS:
- Challenges of publishing (and marketing) children's books
- Marketing strategies for authors
- The myths (and, of course, truths) of our experiences building both confidence and community
- How to navigate industry egos and rejection without making it mean you should quit (or just plain quitting)
