Join us for our latest episode featuring Elise Volkman! We chat about the editing process for my upcoming book, Blooming: Poetry for Seasons of Change. About Elise: Elise writes fantasy for fun, reads fantasy for research, and occasionally fantasizes about how many friends she’d have if she left the house. She's a graduate of Simon Fraser University's Editing Certificate and Creative Writing programs, where she also volunteered as a TA for two years under the inimitable Eileen Cook. Her more responsible alter ego holds a certificate in Digital Marketing from Alacrity Canada and somehow finds the time to juggle web design, social media management, and the dark arts of SEO and Dr. Google. When she’s not staring silently at a computer screen, she’s co-hosting The Tea Grannies, a podcast about writing, publishing, and drowning in eternal lists of books.
