How to use the turn of a page as a cliffhanger, and hey, would you still write if you knew you weren't going to be published? Don't miss this awesome conversation today! 
Airlie Anderson is the author and illustrator of children’s picture books Only: The Bird Who Liked Being Alone, Neither, Cat’s Colors, Cat’s Seasons, and more. She grew up in California and spent a lot of time reading and drawing, as well as swimming and pretending to ride a horse. Her early influences were animation art, pop art, and comics. Airlie attended the Rhode Island School of Design, where she majored in illustration and focused on children’s books, a natural choice given her love for saturated color and expressive characters. She now lives in beautiful, underrated New Jersey with her family, and enjoys the close proximity to New York City (book country)! She is the recipient of the Moonbeam Children’s Book Award, the Independent Publisher Book Award, and the Practical Preschool award.

How did Rachael’s Kickstarter end up? IT IS EXCITING! And then dive into what’s keeping you from writing with Donn King! 
Donn King is The Confidence Cultivator. He is a professor of communication studies (which means “a professor of standing up in front of people and saying stuff”). He’s also an author, a pastor, a speaker, and a communication coach.He started writing for a newspaper at age 14 and made part or, at times, all of his living writing for over 40 years. But when his disabled daughter came along, he thought his well had dried up, and he was unable to write for over a decade. A year ago his muse started talking to him again, and he has written two books in The Sparklight Series and has a third in process. Don't miss his podcast!
