Uncorking a Story

Give Yourself Permission, with Jane Healey

Listen Later

Jane Healey isn’t just a successful author, she also has great taste in TV. During the course of this entertaining conversation, I uncorked her love for The Greatest American Hero, which took us on a fun tangent. Believe it or not, I was walking on air after that.

Meet Jane Healey

Jane is the author of The Secret Stealers and The Beantown Girls, a Washington Post and Amazon Charts bestseller. When she’s not writing, she enjoys spending time with her family, traveling, running, cooking, and going to the beach. She joins me today to talk about her career and latest book Good Night from Paris.

Key Topics:


  1. Giving herself permission to take the time to practice writing.
  2. Advice that you have to be bad at writing before you can become good.
  3. The importance of receiving quality feedback and knowing how to take it.
  4. How to find resources for becoming a better writer without spending lots of money.
