Rachel talks with long time friend and writer for children, Laurel Snyder. They talk about the Iowa Writers  Workshop, Laurel’s path from poet to children’s book author, money, the novice brain, labor, being “messy and extra but not totally batshit,” the relationship between poetry and picture books, the experimental nature of picture books, world building, getting things out rather than getting things down.
