Goodreads asked Marty Essen:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Marty Essen Because I write about the environment and protecting both wildlife and wild places, I feel as if-- in my own small way--I am making the world a better place.

I also enjoy the challenge of promoting what I write and turning it into other mediums. For instance, I turned "Cool Creatures, Hot Planet" into a live stage show, which I have been performing at colleges for eight years. That show is now the second most popular slide-show of all-time (behind Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth").
