"It doesn't matter how many years you've been writing, it's always inspiring to see your byline in a magazine." –Ian Aldrich

Great Escape Radio Host, Jody Maberry talks with Ian Aldrich, the Deputy Editor of Yankee Magazine, and Great Escape Publishing Director, Lori Allen live from the Ultimate Travel Writer's Workshop in Austin, Texas. (You can listen to last week's episode with him here too.)

Jody asks Ian what he likes about speaking at this event.

"Coming to an event like this, meeting other writers, talking story ideas and being with like-minded people recharges my batteries," Ian explains.

Lori agrees…

"These events provide a creative spark—you can see it in the eyes of the attendees and you can feel the energy in the room."

Ian and Lori also share more about finding your way around writer's block, using a creative spark as inspiration to finish projects and the benefits of being around the positive energy generated at live events.
