Writers Authors On Fire Podcast

Emily Grosvenor is an award winning reporter, travel writer, essayist, children's picture book author, and blogger. Here's the link to her Show Notes page with highlights, quotes, links to her book, her websites, and social media connections. Her recent successful Kickstarter.com crowdfunding campaign resulted in a new children's picture book, Tessalation!. She also identifies as a super sniffer with a heightened sense of smell, and has a book project on that subject being shopped by her agent as well as a project Scent in Literature. She attributes much of her success to her journalism and reported background. She calls herself an idea machine. She describes her six blogs, how she teaches blogging and that she loves it because of its immediacy. She's also a magazine junkie. We spent time talking about her book Tessalation!, the idea, how she wrote it, found an illustrator, and built her crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter. Her process of identifying her Tessalation! audience is perfect for all writers.
