How to Write a Novel with a Day Job w/Entertainment Weekly journalist & novelist Maureen Lee Lenker

My guest today is Maureen Lee Lenker, who is a Senior Writer at Entertainment Weekly, where she reports on books, TV, film, and theatre. She is also the author of two novels: It Happened One Fight and My Girl Hollywood.
Today we take a look at creativity on both sides-writing about books while writing books, and how she taps into her creative energy without burning out on either end.
We also talk about:
what it's like to work at an entertainment magazine and how she pitches stories she wants to cover,
how to juggle a day job and writing fiction,
how the book industry has changed, from her perspective as a journalist,
book-to-film production companies,
and so much more.
I hope you enjoy the show!
