Girl Gone Wild - Courtney Kocak
"It's a small town girls misadventures in Hollywood. And it is both poignant and funny. I think of the essays as like crepes. They're kind of like individually snackable, but collectively filling.What I love about the essay format is it's kind of propulsive and you move through it with the momentum that I really appreciate as a reader. And so I wanted to write the book that way."- Author and Podcaster Courtney Kocak, we talk about her upcoming book Girl Gone Wild, a memoir based on a series of essays covering “Tales of ambition, delusion, drugs, sex, and misogyny... including selling T-shirts on the Girls Gone Wild bus”As well as the book we also talk about Courtney’s varied career, from performing as a stand-up, writing for an animated comedy show as well as her extensive career in podcasting including her show Private Parts Unknown which has had over 2 million downloads and her newsletter Podcast Bestie which is full of ways to make the most of your podcast.Website: https://www.courtneykocak.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/courtneykocak/ Girl Gone Wild: US: https://bookshop.org/p/books/girl-gone-wild-courtney-kocak/ UK: https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/girl-gone-wild-courtney-kocak/18ae2cd0ad59de93 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@PrivatePartsUnknown Private Parts Unknown Podcast: https://pod.link/1154304419 The Bleeders Podcast: https://pod.link/1628014529 Podcast Bestie Substack: https://podcastbestie.substack.com/welcome Find More about ‘Making Creativity Pay’Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/makingcreativitypay/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/danjbarnett/ Making Creativity Pay Newsletter: https://makingcreativitypay.substack.com/
