Today’s interview is with fiction writer Katie Vandervalk, the VP of content strategy, entertainment and beauty & style groups at Dotdash Meredith, novelist, and screenwriter. Her driven, get it done attitude pairs with her sense of humor and vulnerability to have me constantly learning each time we speak. We’re going to learn about her path into creative writing, content strategy, and her relationship to the writing process.
One takeaway I can offer you already? Simply “hide, and let it breathe.”
