Episode: How a Creative Community Fuels a Creative Life, with author Amanda Stern
Description: Growing up in New York City's Greenwich Village, Amanda Stern met Shel Silverstein when she was 12, lived on the same block and Bob Dylan, and described it as: "the whole village was like a stage, and everyone was in a show." We explore her success as a writer with 9 children's books, 2 young adult books, a novel, and a memoir, and the value of being a part of a creative community. She says: "Making connections and building community is one of the best ways to generate ideas and come up with new projects."
