The Write2Ignite Podcast: Ep. 10: Donna Thornton

Introducing…

When her mother retired and started a raspberry farm, Donna Thornton found her hundred-acre wood. Starting with a baby donkey named Druplet, Donna wrote a picture book as a gift for her mother. This led to a publishing contract, another picture book, and another. Now, Donna is retired and is setting the personal goal of a book a year.

On this month’s episode, learn about the art of doing local events. From how to setup your table, to helping out nonprofit organizations through your book events, Donna will teach you the power of pouring into your local community.
