Ep 01: Akemi Dawn Bowman on Self-Care, Perseverance, and Learning from Rejection

from Wonderfully Bookish · host Charlotte Clark

This episode was originally published on Oct 1, 2018. In the first episode of the Wonderfully Bookish podcast, I chat with Akemi Dawn Bowman, author of Starfish and Summer Bird Blue. Starfish was one of my favourite books this year, so I was excited to have Akemi as my first guest! Akemi discusses her inspiration, some self-care tips for aspiring writers trying to get their book published, and shares some insights into how to persevere when submitting to agents and publishers. If you’re an aspiring writer, this is for you!
