Behind the Book No. 3
In Episode 64 we’re talking with Coffee+Crumbs founder and author Ashlee Gadd about her new book, Create Anyway: The Joy of Pursuing Creativity in the Margins of Motherhood. Ashlee let many people into into the process of writing this book -- through writing on her blog to posting photos of chapter titles on social media. She allowed our mastermind group way in from the beginning, she engaged early readers, and later, looked to others for final edits. And while the content, the message, and the writing itself continues to impress us, we wanted to have a conversation today about how engaging a creative community was an intentional choice for Ashlee in bringing this book to be.
Bio: Ashlee Gadd is author of Create Anyway: The Joy of Pursuing Creativity in the Margins of Motherhood and the founder of Coffee + Crumbs—a beautiful online space where motherhood and storytelling intersect. As a writer and photographer, Ashlee has spent her entire motherhood creating in the margins. When she's not writing or vacuuming Cheerios out of the carpet, she loves making friends on the internet, eating cereal for dinner, and rearranging bookshelves.
