Bookbound

On this episode of BOOKBOUND, we’re joined by the brilliant and insightful Maggie Jackson, award-winning 3x author and journalist. Her latest book, Uncertain: The Wisdom and Wonder of Being Unsure, is a Next Big Idea Book and was nominated for a National Book Award and a Library Journal Best Book of 2023.

Bringing Maggie’s research and the writing process together, we explore the complexities of uncertainty: a feeling all creatives need to learn to tolerate and learn from. Maggie shares the nuances behind framing a book that challenges conventional thought and builds a counter-intuitive idea, which is—by the way—the formula behind every successful book.

So tune in for wisdom that transcends the mess of the writing and the insecurity of the publishing process so that you can take the next step toward sharing the story you can’t stop telling.
