Art(s) on the Air with Emily Heid

Join Tamara for an interview with Emily Heid, author of the children's books "Scarlett Moves to Savannah" and "Scarlett Wins the Race," illustrated by SCAD alum Chelsie Liberati, as well as the 'non picture book' "Establish." She's also created a consulting business called Bootstrap Books, in order to help authors self-publish professional-looking work.

We chat about the 3 types/rounds of editing that a manuscript goes through for publication, the nitty-gritty of self-publishing and selling an e-book and/or physical book through Amazon and Barnes & Noble, the Weenie Dog races of Savannah, Queen Elizabeth's corgis and dorgis, and combating writer's' block.

Bonus - toward the end of the show you'll get to hear music clips from 2 of our past interviewees - harpist Kristin King and electronic musician Derek Hakíkta Lynch (Kola Hak).

Check out Emily's books, plus the others she's consulted on via Bootstrap Books, here:

Get the answers to such burning questions as:

Does Emily recommend that professional authors set up an LLC? How has "print on demand" made life so much easier for up-and-coming authors? How did the children's book collaboration between Emily and illustrator Chelsea Liberati come about?  What is a life lesson/tip that Emily builds into her children's books?
