    437 | Getting Unstuck with Anne Kemp

    Anne Kemp shares the wisdom of just doing SOMETHING to get yourself the slightest bit unstuck - it all adds up! 
    Anne Kemp is a bestselling author of romantic comedies. She loves reading (and she does it ridiculously fast, too!), gluten-free baking (because everyone needs a hobby that makes them crazy), and finding time to binge-watch her favorite shows. She grew up in Maryland but made Los Angeles her home until she encountered her own real-life meet-cute at a friend's wedding where she ended up married to one of the groomsmen. For real.
    Anne now lives on the Kapiti Coast in New Zealand, and even though she was married at Mt. Doom, no…she doesn’t have a Hobbit. However, she and her husband do have a terrier named George Clooney and a NZ Heading dog named Charlie. When she’s not writing, she’s usually with them taking a long walk on the river by their home.

Writer Di ,

Amazing podcast for writers

There are so few successful writers who are willing to pull back the curtain on the writing life, so I feel very grateful to Rachael for doing just that. Guests are working writers who reveal personal specifics about habits, struggles and best practices. There are also solo episodes (my fave) where Rachael answers listeners’ questions. These are basically mini-masterclasses.

Love this Podcast

Rachael has created an important and comforting window to the process of writing with this podcast. I’m a longtime listener, and still with every guest learn something new and helpful. It’s also fun to follow her journey through this career.

One of my favorites!

I am a huge fan of the How Do You Write podcast. I’m fascinated by process and how people do things to get where they need to go.
I like the host’s style of delivery and speaking voice and have greatly enjoyed the variety of guests she’s had in the show. I have found quite a few new to me authors and books through these interviews.
Thank you!
