Hello, Protagonists!
My guest today is Kate Fagan, #1 New York Times bestselling author of four non-fiction books and a brand new novel that happens to be Reese Witherspoon’s pick this month for her book club.
Kate is also an Emmy Award-winning journalist who has worked at Sports Illustrated, ESPN, and more.
Today, we talk about:
building a varied career with different kinds of writing,
making a name for herself in the traditionally male-dominated field of sports journalism,
her shift from non-fiction to fiction, and the differences in the writing, publishing, and publicity aspects of them,
her unique craft tricks for writing a fictional memoir, The Three Lives of Cate Kay,
and so much more.
I hope you enjoy the show!
