Hi Kate, Thanks so much for such a clear reply, I really appreciate it. (I'm not surprised you had to lie on the floor a lot during the process of selling your book!)
I'm not able to travel a whole lot, but I did just get to go to the Grand Canyon last month, and it was magnificent! It was so strange because it looked fake. We could have been looking at a television screen and I doubt I'd have known the difference! But I got some great pictures from that trip and would not be surprised if something similar to that made its way into one of my books.
Love this podcast! So informative, helpful (and exciting!!) to hear about your journeys with these books. Thanks for bringing us along for the ride! The book I'm writing inspired by a trip I took to the Isle of Skye, Scotland in 2016 - imagine 'The Little Mermaid' meets 'Outlander'.
ooooh looking forward to listening to this episode in the studio today!! :D
that iceland picture is too amazing to feel real!! and i've been to burano, too-- but like 20 years ago.... i should probably go back, huh? ;)
i DEFINITELY get inspired by travel-- my phone is chock-full of details i want to include but often forget to flip back (b/c distractions).... hopefully they all settle in and apply themselves to my brain mush while writing or doodling. ;)
i DID manage to write a short story inspired by the house on the other side of the garden (er, backyard) where i was staying for an artist residency in denmark earlier this year. so of course it always feels best to write RIGHT there when inspired to soak it all in.
so i'm grateful for photos, but would rawther create right there being all fancy pants. ;)
Such a great episode, thank you! I have a question, if I may: the term 'pre-empt' was mentioned several times. I assume it's short for 'pre-emptive', but please can you explain what this means in the context of selling the rights to a book? Thank you!

Those gold sneakers are epic! This was such an informative episode-- So many amazing nuggets about the process that I hadn't heard before. Thank you!
