Description

Calling all of the book lovers! Lady, we have a hot one for you this week. Avery Cunningham, author of The Mayor of Maxwell Street, stops by Cultivating H.E.R. Space to discuss her debut novel and her process of writing a thrilling story about love, loss, and success. Terri and Dr. Dom sit down with Avery for an insightful conversation about how she crafted an enthralling story set in the 1920s. Avery dives deep into her research for the book and why immersing yourself in the world of your characters and providing context for the beautiful world you’re building for them helps you as an author. She also shares tips on how you can improve your skills as a writer – hint, Avatar: The Last Airbender has some gems for you aspiring wordsmiths – and why a strong support network can take you far in life. So, tap into Avery’s beautiful energy in this episode and find your next weekend read!
