Description
SEASON 3; Episode 9:
Welcome to Mature Allure.
Are you an aspiring author who’s wondering how it’s done and where to find your inspiration? Would you love to write for children but not sure where to start?
In this episode, I meet Bracha Goetz, author of over forty children’s books and a memoir about overcoming food addiction joyfully. Bracha writes books about health, safety and gratitude, teaching children life skills from the start so that they don’t have to play catch up later in life. We also talk about my own children’s book, I’m a Different Butterfly.
“Children's books are the only books that every single age gets to read.”
“They'll be able to pick up your joy when you're writing it when they read your book. So enjoy the process.”
What we discuss:
(00:01) - Introduction
(03:42) - The key elements that make a children’s book work.
(11:08) - The creative process of working with an illustrator.
(14:30) - How Bracha and her family promote her books.
(13:00) - Advice for prospective book authors.
(16:35) - How to enjoy promoting your work, even if you’re an introvert.
(18:03) - Bracha’s writing process and inspiration.
Key Takeaways:
There are numerous ways to promote your books; you only need to do the ones that you enjoy.
When you share your life openly it frees other people to open up as well.
