Danya Kukafka is the bestselling author of the novel Girl in Snow and is currently at work on another book.

In this episode we talk a lot about writing, and the whole process of publishing a book. We dive into the differences between writing long form fiction vs. non-fiction, what drew her towards fiction in particular, and she shares how her first published novel came to be.

Some other themes we cover include resisting comparison, nostalgia, criticism, and how she deals with negative feedback as a writer.

If you are an author or aspiring writer I think you’ll get a lot out of this episode. And if you’re an artist of any kind you’ll find a lot of gems here. I hope you enjoy!
