Laurie Frankel on the NYT Bestselling Edge of Our Comfort Zones

+ The Courage and Freedom of Heavy Revision

Hello, Protagonists!

Welcome to another episode of the Creative, Inspired, ALIVE podcast—where we go behind the scenes with the storytellers shaping our culture.

Our next guest, Laurie Frankel, is the New York Times bestselling, award-winning author known for emotional, character-driven fiction exploring modern family dynamics, including This Is How It Always Is, One Two Three, and Family Family. Her latest book, Enormous Wings, is out now.

Today, we talk about:

  • writing about issues on the edge of society’s comfort zones,

  • the courage and freedom to throw out your writing,

  • how teaching helps you learn,

  • the advice she would give to an English major, among other delights!
