The Write2Ignite Podcast Ep. 3: Laura Sassi

by write2igniteconference | Aug 18, 2025 | Picture Books, Writing Craft and Resources | 6 comments

If anyone was qualified to write stories for children, it would be Laura Sassi. She has worn many hats through the years: a mother, a homeschooler, a teacher, and a children’s ministry director. She also wore a special hat for our podcast episode! With over ten books to her name, Laura’s newest picture book, Pumpkin Day for Boo and Belle (with a special giveaway below) is now available.

In this episode, Laura offers practical advice on the importance of finding an agent, how to make sure a writing opportunity isn’t a scam, and what author events mean to both the author and children. But most of all, it is impossible to listen to this episode without smiling. Just like Laura’s writing, she is a delight.

If you want to enter the giveaway for Pumpkin Day for Boo and Belle, send us an email to info.Write2Ignite@gmail.com

    The podcast with author Laura Saadi was delightful, inspiring, and informative. I recently joined Write2Ignite — looking forward to more of this. Thank you! Jayne Schriver

    hi, Laura! I live in NJ, too! And one of my best friends lives in Ocean Grove (I saw you were reading there on one of your FB posts.)

    I do Storytime at our local public library once a month and I think the kids would enjoy Pumpkin Day for Boo and Belle! Congrats on your 12th book!!

    Thanks for the great advice!
