Interview with a Creative: Dan Blank on Creative Place & Purpose
Manage episode 382433325 series 3505886
Dan Blank, founder of WeGrowMedia, visits QWERTY Writing Life and chats with authors Joy E. Rancatore and Mea Smith about Creative Place and Purpose.
He gives practical tips on how to take overwhelming aspects of the creative life—marketing, author platform, author purpose and mission statements, collaborations and audience—and make them manageable, approachable and even fun.
Dan also explains his "human-centered approach to marketing" and shows how it plays out in the lives of authors through real-life examples.
