  • It's an #AmWriting podcast Jess AMA day!

    By Jessica Lahey Verified| The #AmWriting Podcast@ Jess here for another #AmWriting podcast AMA (Ask Me Anything) day! I’m heading out tomorrow for a speaking event in Connecticut but I have a whole blissful day today before a virtual (public!) event in New York to answer all your burning questions. You can ask about anything you like: writing, editing, proposals (I’m writing one right now), speaking, marketing, productivity hacks, heck - ask me about whatever you want.

  • Writing Partnerships with Rebecca Winthrop and Jenny Anderson

    By Jessica Lahey Verified| The #AmWriting Podcast@ “If the language isn’t there, I have difficulty showing up for the idea” - Jenny AndersonJess here. Rebecca Winthrop, Director of the Center for Universal Education at the Brookings Institution, and Jenny Anderson, award-winning journalist, paired up to write one of my favorite education and parenting books in recent memory: The Disengaged Teen. While I adore the book and could go on for ages about it, that’s not why I invited these two to come on the podcast.
