Meghan August 13, 2018 No Comments

For the August episode, we interview KJ Dell’Antonia, the author of the very-soon-to-be-released book How To Be A Happier Parent. How To Be A Happier Parent will be released on August 21, 2018, so preorder at your local bookseller, or from Indiebound, Amazon or Barnes & Noble (or if you’re here after the pub date, you can get a copy at those links, too).

KJ is a parent, former New York Times reporter and editor of the NYT’s Motherlode blog and former contributing editor of the NYT’s Well Family section. Our listeners are probably most familiar with KJ as the co-host of the wonderful #AmWriting podcast.

Full show notes for this episode are here.

We interviewed Jessica Lahey, a teacher, writer and co-host from the wonderful #AmWriting podcast. Jess talked us through how keeping her day job keeps her writing and ideas fresh, the difficulties of writing when she’s on the road on speaking tours. She gives some good tips on how to balance speaking gigs and freelance work, should you be looking to go that direction. And she has great advice on being kind to yourself and living a writing life, and the importance of writing friendships.

You can find Jess at jessicalahey.com, on her publisher Harper Collins’s site for The Gift of Failure here, on Twitter, on Instagram and on Facebook.

You can find her and KJ Dell’Antonia at their podcast #AmWriting’s on iTunes or on AudioBoom.
