<p>874. With her book "Children of Blood and Bone" spending 120 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list, Tomi Adeyemi knows what it takes to write a great book. Listen in on my conversation with this charming writer about her thoughts on the writing life and the craft of storytelling.</p><br><p>Encore Episode: This episode originally aired in May of 2022. We also discuss a writing masterclass Tomi was offering at the time of this recording; that specific course is no longer active, but her advice on the craft of storytelling is timeless. This summer, I'm bringing back a few fan favorites on Saturdays as a bonus for listeners. Summer Saturdays only runs for a few weeks, so enjoy the extra listens while they last!</p><br><p>🔗&nbsp;<a href="https://www.patreon.com/cw/grammargirl" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Join the Grammar Girl Patreon.</strong></a></p><p>🔗&nbsp;<strong>Share your familect recording in</strong>&nbsp;<a href="https://www.speakpipe.com/GrammarGirl" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Speakpipe</strong></a>&nbsp;or by leaving a voicemail at 833-214-GIRL (833-214-4475)</p><p>🔗&nbsp;<strong>Watch my</strong>&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/learning/instructors/mignon-fogarty" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>LinkedIn Learning writing courses</strong></a><strong>.</strong></p><p>🔗&nbsp;<strong>Subscribe to the</strong>&nbsp;<a href="https://www.quickanddirtytips.com/subscribe" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>newsletter</strong></a><strong>.</strong></p><p>🔗&nbsp;<strong>Find a </strong><a href="https://www.quickanddirtytips.com/transcripts/874/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>transcript here</strong></a><strong>. </strong></p><p>🔗&nbsp;<strong>Get</strong>&nbsp;<a href="https://amzn.to/3LULzLb" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Grammar Girl books</strong></a><strong>.</strong></p><br><p>| HOST: Mignon Fogarty</p><br><p>| Grammar Girl is part of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.quickanddirtytips.com/podcasts" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>the Quick and Dirty Tips podcast network</strong></a>.</p><br><p><br></p><br><p><br></p><p><br></p><ul><li>Audio Engineer: Dan Feierabend</li><li>Director of Podcast: Holly Hutchings</li><li>Advertising Operations Specialist: Morgan Christianson</li><li>Marketing and Video: Nat Hoopes, Rebekah Sebastian</li><li>Podcast Associate: Maram Elnagheeb</li></ul><p><br></p><p>| Theme music by&nbsp;<a href="https://catherinerannus.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Catherine Rannus</strong></a>.</p><br><p>| Grammar Girl Social Media:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/@grammargirl" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>YouTube</strong></a>.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@therealgrammargirl" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>TikTok</strong></a>.&nbsp;<a href="http://facebook.com/grammargirl" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Facebook</strong></a>.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.threads.net/@thegrammargirl" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Threads</strong></a>.&nbsp;<a href="http://instagram.com/thegrammargirl" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Insta</strong></a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
