If anyone was qualified to write stories for children, it would be Laura Sassi. She has worn many hats through the years: a mother, a homeschooler, a teacher, and a children’s ministry director. She also wore a special hat for our podcast episode! With over ten books to her name, Laura’s newest picture book, Pumpkin Day for Boo and Belle (with a special giveaway below) is now available.

In this episode, Laura offers practical advice on the importance of finding an agent, how to make sure a writing opportunity isn’t a scam, and what author events mean to both the author and children. But most of all, it is impossible to listen to this episode without smiling. Just like Laura’s writing, she is a delight.
