Daisy Kohn's new book, "Mice," is out in 2020. She talks about how she dealt with the pandemic and what it was like to go on a book tour for her first novel. Now that things are over, you're able to connect more directly with your readers, says Kohn. The most memorable moments were when people told her they'd been caught 20 mice in one night.
Peggy Orenstein is a journalist and author. Her latest book is Unraveling.
“The challenge is… to not want to say, I need to know what the book is about. I need to have my chapters. I need to know what exactly I'm looking for. Because it's really scary to just go out and report and have trust that there's going to be interesting things and that if you just keep going, you're going to find them. So to not foreclose possibility and options and ideas is the biggest reporting challenge for those sorts of books for me.”
