Spotlight: Johanna Rothman (Author) Interview and AMA!

Author Spotlight:
Johanna Rothman (@jrothman)

Writing is a craft and Johanna Rothman is an expert. Today we talked about the art of writing and creating words with Johanna, author of Free Your Inner Nonfiction Writer: Educate, Influence, and Entertain Your Readers, available at the Pragmatic Bookshelf. You can enjoy writing, especially when you integrate thinking and learning as you write. And, when you wait to edit until the end, you can write faster. Learn how to educate, influence, and entertain people with your writing.

This is also an AMA. Everyone commenting or asking a question will automatically be entered into our draw to win a copy of Johanna’s ebook!
