I had the great pleasure of speaking with Kimberly McElhatten, a writer, editor, and writing coach. Kimberly left a career in education to start her own business helping writers develop their craft and market their work.
In our conversation, we talked about how our education systems fail both students and teachers, how writers can benefit from taking a more communal approach to their craft, and how volunteering to read for literary magazines might hold the keys to publishing success. Plus a lot more.
If you’re a writer who’s interested in working with Kimberly, check out her website in the links below.
And as always, the interview ends with Kimberly’s responses to the 5 Questions:
1. How are you trying to make the world better with your work?
2. How did a particular place make you who you are today?
3. Think about a person you have lost. How did the shape of your life change to adjust to that loss?
4. What’s a beautiful thing that most people don’t appreciate enough?
5. If your life were a novel, what the final chapter be?
And if you or someone you know would like to come on the show and talk about YOUR work, please drop me a line at danny.p.anderson@gmail.com. You can also message me via UnTaking on the Substack app.
