Hello and welcome to the latest edition of The Write Start podcast. I'm Lisa Iannucci and I have been a full-time freelance writer for more than 20 years. This podcast is where you learn how to navigate a freelance writing career and how to make more money.  Maybe you are just starting and want to understand how you can be a successful freelance writer or you want to take your current career to the next level. On The Write Start podcast, I provide advice and suggestions delivered by myself and other experienced writers. It's the right time for the write start. In case you missed it, here is the link to the essay by Nicole Brinkley that I mentioned on the show, here are 24 things publishing should change in 2024.

Nicole is a bookseller at Oblong Books in Rhinebeck New York, is a book reviewer, a speaker at numerous book conferences, and the co-host of the fun Novelstalgia podcast with the New York Times bestselling author Ashley Poston. In this episode, I talk about how the writing industry is hard and getting harder. Writers are facing lower wages, less rights to our work and laws that affect where and how we work. I also talk about how important it is to use as many of the tools and resources that are available to help move the needle forward on your career. For me, one of those tools is Facebook. What works for you? I also talk about how the publishing industry needs to stop focusing on about social media numbers when deciding to take on someone's book. Finally, I share tips that come from my experience as a judge in a major publishing contest. If you're looking to submit your work to a contest, these tips might help! Thank you so much for listening! Join me next time when my guest is Julie Sturgeon of Freelance Success.

Emily chose a Pulitzer Prize-winning historical best-seller about Supreme Court Justice, Thurgood Marshall. (We'll add links to the buddy reads for these books in the comments.)

Lexi's got moxie–and so do the characters in her romance and fantasy novels. Her lifelong dream of being a writer has been achieved through grit, trial and error, and a whole lot of imagination. In this episode of Main Street Moxie, Lexi explores the vicissitudes of the publishing industry, her thoughts on failure, the core story of “I love you as you are” that runs through all her work,  and her process as a discovery and patchwork writer.For Lexi, building and sustaining a community of readers is part of her craft. She loves digging deep into her characters to find a connection and discover what makes them tick. Lexi sees the romance genre as feminist and empowering, helping readers discover their self-worth and that they deserve to be cared for and loved, including pleasure. In 2012, Lexi began her journey to full-time writing after a decade of teaching college English. After her first self-published novel, Text Appeal, was released, she could focus on her writing. She's a #1 New York Times bestseller author of sizzling, emotional romance and sexy, action-packed YA fantasy. Lexi has been a Goodreads Choice nominee and recipient of the Romance Writers of America® RITA® award for Best Contemporary Romance: Long. Her novels have sold over a million copies in English and have been translated into many languages.Lexi is happiest at home in Indiana with her husband and two children, where you can find her reading copiously, hanging out with her family, and thanking her lucky stars.This year she released two new books. In July, the YA fantasy sequel These Twisted Bonds, and in October, the latest installment of her Orchid Valley series, Every Chance with You. This episode of Main Street Moxie is proudly sponsored by Oblong Books and Thorunn Designs.

Laurie's moxie is expressed through her writing. Through this creative medium, she has explored herself and others, tackling challenges, embracing change, understanding setbacks, and making sense of universal themes in the human experience. In this episode, Laurie shares her writer's journey and provides insight into the creative process and the discipline required to make writing a career. It's a deep dive into a writer's brand of moxie.Laurie, the author of six books, cultivated her curiosity about the lives of American women, digging for truth and understanding before examining her own life. Drawing extensively on her journals, most recently, she has written a memoir, Word for Word: A Writer's Life. Written with courage and grace, writing it was an extraordinary inner journey--full of memories, discoveries, and insights--which enriched her understanding of the past and the present.She began writing as a young girl, almost always about what really happened rather than what she imagined. Her first job after college was working for The Providence Journal, where she got her first professional bylines for writing feature stories. After moving to New York City, she worked for Newsweek before writing her first book, the best-selling Portrait of an Artist: A Biography of Georgia O'Keeffe.  She moved to a village in New England and wrote a biography about a sculptor, Louise Nevelson: A Passionate Life. Then she began to write books drawing on her own experiences--like passing up motherhood, passionately tending a flower garden, and attending a traditional girls' boarding school in Connecticut.She is a member of a long-standing academic seminar for biographers and memoirists, Women Writing Women's Lives, in New York City. Other memberships include the Authors Guild and PEN American Center. She has been awarded residencies at writers' colonies, including at the MacDowell Colony.For more information about Laurie, visit her website and this episode's show notes on the Main Street Moxie website.This episode is sponsored by Oblong Books and Elyse Harney Real Estate.

Roger Berkowitz, Founder and Academic Director of the Hannah Arendt Center for Politics and Humanities at Bard College, shares the story and ideas of political thinker Hannah Arendt in this Moxie by Proxy episode. Hannah was a bold and fiercely independent political thinker. Born in 1906, she came of age during the Nazi era, escaping death and finding her way to New York City in 1941.

Our Story Kelly Braffet reads to us from her novel The Broken Tower's preface, which reads like a myth. These initial pages serve to (re)introduce readers to the characters and their struggles in a fantastic world of magical bonds, warring kingdoms, and a power beyond reckoning. Our Guest Kelly Braffet is the author of the Border Lands novels, including The Broken Tower and The Unwilling, as well as the novels Save Yourself, Josie and Jack and Last Seen Leaving. Her writing has been published in The Fairy Tale Review, Post Road, and several anthologies. She attended Sarah Lawrence College and Columbia University and currently lives in upstate New York with her husband, the author Owen King. You can purchase a signed copy of The Broken Tower from https://www.oblongbooks.com/autographed-books (Oblong Books & Music) or anywhere you love to buy books. Our Conversation In the discussion that follows the story, we explore the themes from the book and the choices an author makes, particularly when creating her own fantasy world: Themes of power, not just the magical sort, and how this is central to all of Kelly's work Written in 2020 and 2021, this is a real “pandemic novel” that responds to the moment during it which it was written The dual meaning of “Work,” which describes the magic in this world and the factories that make the book “a capitalist dystopia” The question of whose stories get told and feeling haunted by all the people whose stories were never told The conscious inclusion of differently abled people as well as well as folks across gender identities and sexualities  The question “who am I writing for” and how the author's choices can hurt certain readers, particularly those with marginalized identities.  Why Kelly chose to create a mythic world that does not replicate our own Our Music Music on the show is by the wonderful Beth Sweeney and Billy Hardy, a Celtic Fiddle and multi-instrumental Duo based on Cape Cod, Massachusetts.

For years Aubrey Gordon, author of the newly released book What We Don’t Talk About When We Talk About Fat, wrote anonymously as "Your Fat Friend" about the social realities of life as a very fat person. Her work has been translated into 19 languages and covered around the world. She has written for many notable outlets, including this recent op-ed in the New York Times, Leave Fat Kids Alone, and she is a columnist with SELF Magazine, where she writes about health, weight stigma, and fatness. Aubrey is also one half of the podcast Maintenance Phase, which she makes and hosts with Michael Hobbes. Every other Tuesday they debunk the junk science behind health & wellness fads, and decode their cultural meaning. She and Julia talk about all of this— the book, the podcast, and so much more, and also discuss Aubrey's decade of experience doing community organizing for the queer community.HELPFUL FOLLOW-UP LINKS:Click here for Aubrey's article Just Say Fat (referenced in the episode introduction).For more about Aubrey's work and her writing, head here.To purchase a copy of Aubrey's book, What We Don't Talk About When We Talk About Fat, head here.For more about Aubrey's podcast, Maintenance Phase, head here.For more about Julia's new book Simply Julia, head here.For more about Julia's virtual book tour events, head here.For a signed copy of Simply Julia, head here to order from Oblong Books.For more episodes of Keep Calm and Cook On, head here.For more about Oxo, head here.

Welcome to Reel Travels Episode #32. My name is Lisa Iannucci and I am the host of the show and the author of On Location: A Film & TV Lover's Travel Guide (please buy it from Oblong Books online). This week, I take a slight turn from the regular format of the show to talk about one of the hottest shows on Netflix right now, Ozark. My husband, Ej "The Rainmaker" Garr is the guest and that's because the two of us binged three seasons in 10 days! Of course, if you're a fan of the show, you'll love hearing about where you can visit, but we also talk about our favorite characters, who we wish didn't get killed off and the final episode of Season Three. There are spoilers, just so you know.  So Ozark fans, get comfortable and listen to our take on the show. Let me know yours!  Thanks so much for listening. So if you haven’t already subscribed to my podcast or left me a review please do so. It helps me to continue and grow the channel. I’ve also started reeltravelsmagazine.com (it’s in its early stages, but worth checking out0 and I’m revising the Virgin Traveler website to include some great upcoming trips and information for you if you’re new to traveling. I’d love to hear from you about what you are up to. You can reach out to me on Twitter @virgintraveler or DM me on Instagram @thevirgintraveler. I also have a Reel Travels page on Facebook too, so there’s plenty of ways to keep up with what’s going on and reach out to me. See you next week!
