## Resource

Welcome to On Writing! A podcast that interviews authors from all over the country to talk about their books and their journeys in becoming authors. Each episode will have a different guest.

Mandy has been writing across multiple genres since she was in elementary school! In addition to writing, Mandy also teaches a class on publishing and leads a writer's group at the Danville Public Library. We discuss all of that and more on this episode!
