This podcast interviews Adam Wallace, a prolific children's book author, about his storytelling process and experiences in both traditional and self-publishing. The conversation covers his writing techniques (often starting with an idea and letting the story unfold), strategies for captivating young audiences (interaction and involvement), and the successes and challenges of different publishing routes. Wallace highlights the "How to Catch" series as a major success, attributing it to a combination of concept, illustrations, and timing. He also emphasizes the importance of creating a safe and fun environment for both children and adult audiences during presentations. A key takeaway is his advice on engaging audiences: prioritize interaction and understand that you won't captivate everyone.
