Crowds, Cakes, and Hecklers: Exploring Book Tour Life with Author Sadie Dingfelder
When we kicked off the Dragon Tree Podcast over a year ago, we were so excited to have the inimitable Sadie Dingfelder as our very first guest. A prolific science writer and journalist, Sadie’s work has appeared in The Washington Post, National Geographic, The New York Times Magazine, and many other top-tier publications. Her humorous style has drawn in readers from across the globe. When we last talked, Sadie was getting ready to embark on her very first book tour to discuss her fascinating and hilarious book, Do I Know You? which explores the world of neurodiversity through her own unique lens. Her funny yet eye-opening account was featured on NPR and ABC news (among other networks), and continues to receive rave reviews here and internationally. While she mulls her next project, we invited Sadie back to talk about navigating the book tour world. We also discussed how author communication has shifted from physical bookstore podiums to the ubiquitous world of digital marketing, and how writers like Sadie have found creative ways to adapt.
