Ric Flair Swag, Social Anxiety, and Indie Publishing! Bonus Interview w/ Writer Jordan Scavone!

Today is the big day when we start posting podcast interviews with all sorts of cool, random people. A lot of them will be in the book world, but some are just in the world world.

Each interview talks a bit about being brave, being vulnerable, and the stuff we can't predict. And this first one? It also has a call out to Ric Flair.

What else? We talk about:

Book marketing
Theater for the Young
Indie publishing versus traditional publishing
Marketing your book
Social Anxiety
Teaching preschool
Writing brave things
And did I mention Ric Flair?

According to his website, author Jordan Scavone created his first picture book at about six years old. This first book, written and drawn (well, stenciled), was titled The Animals Look For Food. It was about, well, animals looking for food.

After receiving his undergraduate degree in Children's Literature and Theater for the Young from Eastern Michigan University, Jordan began working on his first picture book. This past April Jordan received his M.A. in Children's Literature from EMU. He currently lives in Michigan with his wife Chelsea (June 2016!) and cat, Lizbeth.

Jordan's newest book, Night Warrior, just arrived! And he has a baby coming too! So, give him some love and check out the book on Amazon and his website.
