I rarely do video interviews these days! But here I am with Kevin Donahue on the Sacred Steps Podcast talking about my experience on the Camino de Santiago and also how much I loved the St Cuthbert's Way, plus places 'where the veil is thin,' and the challenges and joys of solo walking.

Many of you have asked for more video interviews! I do a monthly video podcast with Orna Ross from the Alliance of Independent Authors. Here's our latest episode where I talk about some lessons learned from my pilgrimage, and tips on how to take time out to review your author goals and business.

Want to know more about turning your book into an audiobook? I was recently interviewed on the Kobo Writing Life Facebook page on Audio for Authors. I hope you enjoy the show!

Hello Creatives,


I've been doing this channel for 10 years now and I have discovered that audio is my first love. As an introvert author, I find video difficult, so I am going to double down on my strengths from now on.


I may occasionally post videos here, but mostly I will continue my weekly podcast as audio-only at www.thecreativepenn.com/podcasts or you can subscribe on your favorite podcast player.


I'll also be narrating more of my own audiobooks, and of course, writing more books!
www.thecreativepenn.com/books

You can ask me any questions on twitter @thecreativepenn or I will check in here for comments occasionally.


Wishing you happy writing,
Thanks, Joanna

This is me at my stand/sit desk. I use a swiss ball when sitting and do the longer podcast interviews when standing :)
