280: Writing and Illustrating a Picture Book Series - Interview with Amanda Noll and Howard McWilliam

Published: Nov. 20, 2019, 1:15 p.m.
Duration: 39 minutes 48 seconds

Hey there word nerds! Today, I have the pleasure of interviewing Amanda Noll and Howard McWilliam, author and illustrator of the I Need My Monster picture book series.

Amanda Noll was born and raised in Canberra, Australia and immigrated to the United States as a teenager. After marrying her college sweetheart, she began working in the purchasing division of a private university (which is ironic, since she despises shopping).

She left the business world to attend to the business of raising children and concentrate on her writing. As her kids grew up, she completed a Master\\u2019s degree in Education and became an Elementary School Librarian.\\xa0 Amanda blames her fundamentally twisted sense of humor on either genetics or being raised on a steady stream of Australian humor and sci-fi. She currently lives in the Pacific Northwest with her husband and children.

Howard McWilliam left his career as a U.K. financial magazine editor and journalist in 2005 to concentrate on illustrating. He is cover artist for The Week in the U.S. and U.K. and has illustrated dozens of children\\u2019s novels, puzzles, and picture books, including the bestselling I Need My Monster series. He lives in Cheltenham, England, with his wife Rebecca and three young sons.

In this episode, Amanda, Howard and I discuss:

  • The inspiration behind the My Monster series
  • How one book turned into a series\\xa0
  • How the author-illustrator relationship works
  • Navigating the line between safe and scary for kids
  • Making picture books accessible for boy and girl readers

Plus, their #1 tips for writers.

Published: Nov. 13, 2019, 1:15 p.m.
Duration: 53 minutes 17 seconds

Hey there word nerds! Today, I have the pleasure of interviewing my friend and fellow New Yorker, Amanda Slavin.

Amanda is the founder and CEO of the award-winning brand consulting firm CatalystCreativ, the author of The Seventh Level book, and the creator of the Seventh Level Engagement Framework. She uses this framework to guide brands like Coca-Cola, Google, and HubSpot to connect more meaningfully with their customers and improve their bottom lines.

So you may be wondering, \\u201cHow does this apply to us writers?\\u201d Amanda and I were chatting over coffee some time ago, and as she described the 7th Level framework, I started to see connections between this marketing framework and how we as writers create books as an experience for our readers.

Amanda has spoken at events like SXSW, TED, and INBOUND about the Seventh Level and her writing has been featured in places like Inc., Forbes, Fast Company, the Wall Street Journal, and Time. She lives in New York City with her husband and her cockapoo.

In this episode Amanda and I discuss:

  • How the \\u201cSeventh Level\\u201d framework applies to writers
  • The origins of the Seventh Level
  • How a Seventh Level statement applies to literary themes
  • Using levels 1-3 keep your target readers engaged
  • Using character change to inspire and connect with readers

Plus, her #1 tip for writers.

278: Writing for Newly-Independent Readers - Interview with Megan McDonald

Published: Nov. 6, 2019, 1:15 p.m.
Duration: 1 hour 1 minute 19 seconds

Hey there word nerds! Today, I have the pleasure of interviewing Megan McDonald, the author behind the popular Judy Moody series.

Megan grew up the youngest of five sisters, so knows a thing or two about speaking up for herself. Before she became a writer, she worked in museums, libraries, and bookstores; she has also made a living as a storyteller and a park ranger. In addition to the best-selling Judy Moody and Stink series, she is the author of three Sisters Club stories, two books about Ant and Honey Bee, and many other books for children. Today we\\u2019ll be talking about the latest Judy Moody book, #15 Judy Moody, Book Quiz Whiz.

In this episode Megan and I discuss:

  • The personal origins of the Judy Moody books
  • The question from kid readers that helped inspire the series
  • Tailoring vocabulary for an early reader
  • How to keep a story super focused
  • Keeping a series fresh, new and exciting for readers

Plus her #1 Tip for Writers.
