The Bookshelf: The Book That Inspired a Six-Year-Old to Write

Enjoyed the episode, got a suggestion or a question send me a textThe Book That Inspired a Six-Year-Old to WriteSometimes we don't realise the ripple effect our actions can have. In this episode of The Bookshelf, I'm joined by author, editor and writing coach Cara A'Court to talk about two very special books. Cara shares the story behind her own novel, Three People, Three Countries, One Path, and how publishing it inspired her six-year-old niece to write and publish her very first book, Matt the Mole and the Stormy Day.We also talk about writing as a way of processing life's experiences, why perfection shouldn't stop creativity, and how finding your own way of telling a story matters far more than getting every word right.As someone who is dyslexic, writing has never come naturally to me, so this was a conversation that challenged some of my own beliefs about what it means to be a writer.Whether you love books, have always dreamed of writing one, or simply enjoy hearing the stories behind them, I hope you enjoy this conversation.You can find the books Cara spoke about here:https://www.amazon.co.uk/Three-People-Countries-One-Path/dp/1639888527https://www.amazon.co.uk/Matt-mole-stormy-Billie-Rose-Lamb/dp/B0D4J91T5CAnd if you'd like to connect with Cara, you can do that here:https://www.linkedin.com/in/cara-a-court-335878143/Support the show
