"Write Whatever You Want" with J. Courtney Sullivan, New York Times bestselling author

+ Working with Reese Witherspoon
8

My guest today is J. Courtney Sullivan, a New York Times bestselling author whose books have not only been Reese Witherspoon book picks twice, but have also been optioned by Reese's production company.

Today we talk about:

  • how to know when an idea is "right"

  • doing research, and writing stories in layers

  • ignoring genre categories and instead, writing whatever you want

  • the most important guiding principle to hold onto in a creative career

  • the coolest, most unexpected things that have happened to Courtney in her writing career, and so much more

Courtney was so fun and easy to talk to. I hope you enjoy the show!
