Mary J Cronin

Brought to you by Mary J. Cronin, entrepreneur, author, creator, researcher, and podcast host. I have always been curious about what compels my favorite authors to dedicate years to writing  exactly that book that I can’t stop reading. Now I get to ask them directly on Why Authors Write. 

Kristie Dickinson

In collaboration with my co-hosts

She worked at Apple advising on product strategy and interface design, and now writes a Substack newsletter teaching creatives how to surprise and delight the world. Besides talking with authors on Why Authors Write, Kristie is hard at work on her debut book — a hybrid memoir / novel with lyrics.
