Dani also works in publicity and acquisitions at Larrikin House, and is often a panel facilitator at literary festivals. She can now add picture book author to the list of her literary achievements. So, buckle up and get ready for a fun interview with Dani Vee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Andrew:<\/strong> Hi Dani, thanks for coming for an interview! As Words and Nerds podcast host, you\u2019re used to interviewing guests. I\u2019m going to let you interview yourself for this question. What question would you ask yourself? And how would you answer it to reveal a fun and little-known fact about yourself?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dani:<\/strong> This is the most fun and terrifying question I\u2019ve ever had! A little-known fact is hard for an over-sharing extrovert, but when I was a kid I wanted to be a vet. I have no idea why, I\u2019m bad at Math and not great at needles! I was also in a few bands in my early twenties as a VERY average singer and enthusiastic dancer (didn\u2019t say good!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Andrew:<\/strong> Congrats on your new book My EXTRAordinary Mum!<\/em> I saw a video on your socials of you unboxing your advance copies. What was that like?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dani:<\/strong> The unboxing is every author\u2019s dream! It was fun and I had my kids throw confetti at me and make a mess which they thought was the best thing ever! Having a book published is like running an endless hurdle race. You write it, you have to get it signed, you get it signed, you have to edit it, you edit it, you have to help market and sell it. I\u2019m not complaining at all, but it\u2019s a constant flow of excitement and trying to manage that next hurdle! It was very surreal though to think there are actual books I wrote in the world and hopefully in kid\u2019s hands!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
