Podcast: Author Pep Talks

Interview with Nikki Barthelmess, the author of The Quiet You Carry, which debuted in March of 2019 and the sequel, Quiet No More, which was released in October of 2020. Nikki entered foster care in Nevada at twelve and spent the next six years living in six different towns. During this time, Nikki found solace in books, her journal, and the teachers who encouraged her as a writer. A graduate of the University of Nevada, Nikki lives in Santa Barbara with her husband, daughter, and pride-and-joy Corgi pup. Today, we’re talking about juggling multiple deadlines, balancing writing with a new baby, and the idea of writing as a hopeful act. Nikki offers so much great advice grounded in both actionable steps, as well as shifts in mindset. If you’re struggling with motivation or how to break down mountainous tasks, she’s got you covered. So without further ado, here is my conversation with Nikki Barthelmess.
