Sue Campbell on THE EFFECT OF: Becoming Who You Want To Be and The Power of Imagination
Description
Sue Campbell spends most of her writing time working on Middle Grade novels, which is why listeners might be shocked that the two major story influences in her life are Kurt Vonnegut’s Mother Night and John Irving’s A Prayer for Owen Meany. Together, Abigail and Sue explore the tremendous impact these stories had on Sue’s personal and professional life, from pushing her to question who she is perceived as, who she wants to be, and how to align the two–to the immeasureable power of a fueled and supported imagination.
Listen to this episode to explore the dark, complex questions that challenge our identities, and be inspired by what can happen when we set out to become who we want to be with intention and purpose. Email Abigail at abigailkperry [AT] gmail [DOT] com to continue the conversation.
