Want to know what sets writers apart from ordinary people?
Sneezes.
Ordinary people sneeze, accept a kind “bless you,” and move on.
A writer sneezes, has a crazy “what if?” thought, then turns the answer to that question into a book.
That’s exactly what happened to today’s guest. I don’t want to spoil the fun of her book’s origin story, but I do encourage you to listen in to hear it directly from Sheryl Bass, author of Baby Dragon’s Big Sneeze.
In this interview, we talk about her amazing children’s picture book, the struggles of the traditional publishing route and the artistic freedom that comes from self-publishing.
Sheryl also shares some fantastic tips, encouragement and advice for young authors.
