Navigating Feedback and Building Creative Confidence with Amber Petty
This week's podcast
This week World Creativity and Innovation Week, and my friend Sandra Martinez is hosting a week of events for it over at the Pink Lady Creativity Cafe. We’ve been having a great time so far!
I’m leading the Crazy Scavenger Hunt on Thursday (tomorrow!) at noon Central/1 p.m. Eastern, and I’d love to see you there! Use the QR code, or click the image or the link above, to register.
Freelance writer and writing teacher
joins me on the podcast this week.
Amber helps writers navigate the murky waters of freelance writing, from developing story ideas to figuring out which publications might be most likely to be interested in those ideas to how to write the pitch and handle feedback from editors.
She joins me to talk about how she got started in freelancing—she originally appeared on the show back in 2019, when she was teaching folks how to sing—and we discuss how she made that transition, how to look at feedback without taking it personally, finding creative courage (and the value of just being silly), and a lot more.
