Unlock Your Writing by Changing the Format, with Emily Wood

Join us for this lovely episode in which Emily Wood talks about the magic of using a different format (scriptwriting!) for unlocking stuckness, as well as sharing about the best launch day ever! Emily Wood was born and raised in rural Southern Ontario, Canada, where her days were spent as a stereotypical horse girl and her nights as the quintessential bookworm. The former journalist and newspaper editor now works in library services by day, and spends her evenings spinning stories that will make you blush, filled with heat, humour, and found family. Her superpowers include having full conversations in movie quotes and responding to any text message with the perfect meme, and when she's not writing she enjoys reading, hiking with her husband and golden mountain doodle, and being lakeside with a blank page and a cup of tea. Just My Luck is her debut novel. ⚙️ Writing in the Junkyard: July 11 & 12 - click HERE! 🏠 Ink Village! Check it out here: http://rachaelherron.com/inkvillage(New perks, like editing!
