I learned a ton of new stuff about social media in this
interview with Frances Caballo from
SocialMediaJustForWriters.
My thoughts:
Probably one of the most useful podcasts I’ve ever listened
to!!
Lots of great information here about using social media, no matter what
level of experience you have. Afterward, I immediately checked out Frances Caballo’s blog. I really love that
this is geared specifically for writers. I also noticed that she has her own
podcast for writers.
Frances Caballo: "So images are really important and because we have a short attention span, images are easier to absorb than text."
In case you don’t have time to download the podcast, The
Creative Penn always posts a transcript – very useful in this case for finding
all the resources Frances mentions.
Description:
Miranda Paul is an author of two amazing new non-fiction
picture books (ONE PLASTIC BAG and WATER IS WATER). She is also doing some
amazing work for children’s literature through SCBWI, RateYourStory.org and We
Need Diverse Books.
My thoughts:
Hearing Miranda Paul talk about her books with host Nick
Patton left me inspired to think about my own writing goals. It was so
interesting how her books have developed from her own experiences and
philosophy about life. I especially enjoyed listening to her read a short
excerpt from her book WATER IS WATER. It reminded me of how fun it is to come
up with new angles for traditional subjects, in this case, the water cycle.
The excerpt also convinced me that her book would be a great addition to my
classroom library!
On a side note, I have used Miranda's RateYourStory.org and found it very useful for finding out about strengths and weaknesses of my manuscripts.
