"Every secret of a writer's soul, every experience of his life, every quality of his mind, is written large in his works."— Virginia Woolf
Great Escape Radio host, Jody Maberry and Great Escape Publishing Director, Lori Allen bring Connie Pearson to the show.
Lori introduces us to Connie…
"Connie is this sweet Alabama Christian grandmother that has not only had several travel articles published in a variety of outlets, she also has her own blog."
Jody talks with Connie about her blog and how it started.
"I started blogging in earnest in May 2015 a few months before I attended the Ultimate Travel Writer's Workshop in Denver. I had used the Great Escape Publishing blogging program by Paula Pant to get started."
It's a program that Connie highly recommends as it helped her set up her blog and taught her how to manage it.
After Connie began pitching travel articles to various outlets, she began to realize how important her blog is in the process.
Listen in as Connie shares the ways her blog has enhanced her travel writing career. She also shares why she loves blogging and having the opportunity to let her personality shine through her words as she shares inspiration with her readers.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
