Julie and Casey interview 6-time NYT bestselling author Jodi Lipper about her work as a collaborative writer. Along the way they discuss interview skills and listening, presence and preparation, and how many Twitter followers you need to get a book published.
TOP TAKEAWAYS:
- Writing is a team sport.
- Preparation is key, but so is the ability to let it go and be in the moment.
- To truly listen, you have to both hear the words and what’s behind them. To tell someone’s story requires attention to both, and an ability to allow and facilitate rather than manufacture a reveal.
- Want to write and publish a book? You need more than just an interesting story.
- It's not the size of your twitter following, it's how you use it.
