Motherhood, Art, and Writing New Fairy Tales with Roshani Chokshi, New York Times Bestselling Author

Hello, Protagonists!

Welcome to another episode of the Creative, Inspired, Alive podcast—where we go behind the scenes with the storytellers shaping our culture.

New Year, New Name! - Creative. Inspired. Happy is now Creative, Inspired, ALIVE!

Our guest today is Roshani Chokshi, New York Times Bestselling author. Her books have been translated into over two dozen languages, and one of them was even named in Time Magazine‘s Top 100 Fantasy Books of All Time. Her latest novel, The Swan’s Daughter, is out now.

Today, we talk about:

* using mythology and legend as inspiration in fiction,

* how motherhood has changed her as a writer,

* the long arc of a career over a decade,

* shifting definitions of success, and so much more.

xo,

Joanna & Evelyn
