Happy From My Car Friday! This episode is for all the young creatives, for those potentially looking into a career in the publishing and media industry or anyone stuck in a career rut and in need of some inspiration! I'm joined by Mireille Harper, an award-winning editor at Square Peg, writer, sensitivity reader, and PR and communications consultant specializing in creative, cultural and community-led projects. She does it all! Fortunately for her, in the beginning of the pandemic, she "accidentally fell" into a very successful career in publishing where she gets to live out her passion for giving marginalized authors a voice through their writing. We also discuss how her Jamaican and German heritage have shaped her identity, tips for staying motivated, the importance of a social media presence in a creative field, how to measure success, prioritizing rest and why she will not be writing a book anytime soon. I hope you enjoy it!
