Finding the Throughline with Kate Hanley

[Julie Gerstenblatt: what’s coming up]: How to approach writing about something you have little firsthand experience of + the magic of a Disney soundtrack, Ep 1100

Listen Later

In this final installment of interview with “Daughters of Nantucket” author Julie Gerstenblatt, we get a peek at her next novel and the very clever, and fun-sounding, way she’s dealing with the nerves that are cropping up as she writes about something she has very little firsthand experience with.


We talked about:

  • All the places she’s researching maritime history as she works on her next book, which involves a sailing trip to China
  • Her favorite books on writing and creativity
  • Creating structure for herself now that her kids are out of the house
  • Trying to figure out how to spend more time in her happy place, AKA Nantucket
  • The show and the books that are keeping her up too late because they’re just so good
  • Why she’s still listening to Disney soundtracks even though her kids are grown and flown
