Yes! It sounds like an amazing experience and in a beautiful place. I've never been to Italy and now I have the perfect reason to go someday in the future.
This is not my "space" (aka, not a genre I know anything about)--which is why I LOVED this interview! Every discussion you host offers new insights...and btw--I ADORE risk takers--reaching out to editors (even though conventional wisdom says don't)--moving to Italy...all of it. Courage IS a rock star trait!
oh my gosh, this is the loveliest note to start my new year off with, Diana, thank you! And I agree with you about Suzanne and risk-takers in general. So inspirational! (Love what you said about her courage being a rock star trait!)
Oh, wow - so excited to listen! I met Suzanne at the Kentucky Book Festival years ago and she is wonderful. I'm a huge fan of The Program series. It would be a dream to participate in one of these writing retreats. I signed up for updates on them just for inspiration. Thank you both!
It's so wonderful how you showcase and uplift other authors in your emails. I know what a fiercely competitive industry it is and how hard it must be to avoid the "I'm looking out for #1" mentality. Way to set an example for the whole industry 💜
I want to read her books now and go to Italy one day and do a retreat. It sounds wonderful! Thanks so much, Evelyn for this interview.
I also want to run off to Italy for a retreat! I love how carefully she thinks about planning the perfect writing retreat, you know?
