Tomi Adeyemi: The writing life

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.

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 We also discuss a writing masterclass Tomi was offering at the time of this recording; that specific course is no longer active, but her advice on the craft of storytelling is timeless.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!
