Hello, Protagonists!

My guest today on CREATIVE. INSPIRED. HAPPY is Eowyn Ivey, Pulitzer Prize finalist and UK National Book Award winner for her novel, The Snow Child. Her latest book, Black Woods Blue Sky, is out now.

Today, we talk about:

  • whether the Pulitzer nomination put pressure on her for her next book,

  • transforming painful personal experience into beautiful, impactful fiction

  • accepting rejection as part of the process of being a writer,

  • and so much more.
