She’s also an award-winning podcaster, creative entrepreneur, and international professional speaker. She lives in Bath, England with her husband and two British shorthair cats, and enjoys a nice G&T.
I love Joanna Penn's podcast and found this book to be chock full of great advice and very comprehensive. Although she doesn't do the actual narration, Joanna's exuberant voice comes through loud and clear. I am going to run through this audio-book again soon and take detailed notes. I am also considering purchasing a physical copy for highlighting and quick off-the-shelf reference. Highly recommended for anyone considering writing a non-fiction book.
