107. Carrie Schmitt - On Writing Books and Manifesting Your Creative Dreams

Carrie Schmitt is back on the podcast and this time we are chatting about what it is like to write an art book. 

I’ve always wanted to write a book but it always ends up in the too-hard basket! The process seems daunting and I worry about how I would fit it in with all the other aspects of running an art business. 

It was wonderful to chat with Carrie about this as Carrie is a full-time artist, instructor and author. She sells original paintings, teaches online and in-person workshops, licenses her art with various companies and always has a few books on the go. 

Her latest book, The Story of Every Flower, is a celebration of her 10-year journey as an artist.

In our conversation, Carrie takes us behind the scenes. You’ll hear about what inspired the book, the rituals and routines that have helped Carrie to create it, why she chose to self-publish and how she is approaching the marketing and distribution of the book.

If you have ever thought about writing a book, I encourage you to take a listen!
