When Film Meets Fiction, with Entertainment Weekly journalist and novelist Maureen Lee Lenker

My guest today is Maureen Lee Lenker, who is a Senior Writer at Entertainment Weekly and also the author of two novels, It Happened One Fight. She also has a podcast, Hollywood-ography.

Today we take 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 a 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!
