Before I get started with the interview with my guest today, I have a happy announcement to make … Jennia D’Lima, whom you’ve heard as an occasional co-host on the show, is now becoming my permanent co-host. I’m really thrilled. She’s smart and funny, has deep experience in editing and publishing, and frankly is also a joy to work with. We haven’t worked out all the details yet, but sometimes you’ll hear me, sometimes Jennia, and sometimes both of us. She’s a freelance editor based in Maryland: you can see a link to her website in the show notes. I’m excited to be starting this new phase of the podcast. Speaking of which …
My guest today is Meghan Sheriff. She’s an experienced teacher, academic, and educational consultant, and passionate about helping students, parents and schools manage post-pandemic academics. We talk about issues broadly but also focus on writing specifically, how it’s changed and how it continues to be an important skill for students.

My guest today is Lauren Erickson. She’s an author who’s written a memoir, her (as the subtitle has it) “Summertime Chronicles of a Yellowstone Housekeeping Employee,” and now she works to help other authors launch and promote their books. We talk about launching virtually and in real life, and of course the role of social media.
