Description
On The Guest: Today I’m honored to say that for the third year in a row Unleash is having on the ironic author of the Artists’ way and prolific creative, Julia Cameron. Julia is an artist, teacher, poet, playwright, novelist, filmmaker, journalist, and music composer. She’s best known for writing The Artist’s Way which has sold millions of copies, has been translated into 40 different languages and gave her the title “The Queen of Change” for starting a movement that brought creativity into mainstream conversation. Without the Artist’s way, there would be no Unleash. Her brand new book is called: Write for Life and it’s a love letter and guidebook for writers and aspiring writers.
