My guest today is Kate Fagan, #1 New York Times bestselling author of four non-fiction books and a brand new novel. She is also an Emmy Award-winning journalist who has worked at Sports Illustrated, ESPN, and more.

Today, we talk about:

* building a varied career with different kinds of writing,

* making a name for herself in the traditionally male-dominated field of sports journalism,

* her shift from non-fiction to fiction, and the differences in the writing, publishing, and publicity aspects of them,

* her unique craft tricks for writing a fictional memoir, The Three Lives of Cate Kay,

* and so much more.

I hope you enjoy the show!
