This week on the podcast, Megan and Greta talk with the amazing Dan Blank. Dan has worked in the publishing industry for decades. In this interview, we step back and take a look at the big picture before we drill down to what all of it means to us as individuals.
He also gives us a peek into how he works with his writing clients. There are so many great pointers in this episode, it feels like a coaching session. Plus, you get to hear Megan fan-girl all over the place.
Dan Blank is the founder of WeGrowMedia, where he helps writers develop their author platforms, connect with readers, and launch their books. He is the author of the book Be the Gateway: A Practical Guide to Sharing Your Creative Work and Engaging an Audience. He has worked with thousands of writers, and amazing organizations who support creative people such as Penguin Random House, Sesame Workshop, Hachette Book Group, Workman Publishing, J. Walter Thompson, Abrams Books, Writers House, The Kenyon Review, Writer’s Digest, Library Journal, and many others.
