I'm curious about what people are making, whether it be a book, business, literary journal, or nonprofit, and how they navigate making those things both emotionally and logistically. For those of us looking for meaningful work or for those of us who have found it, what is that journey like?
About Megan Nichols:
I am the author of the poetry chapbook Animal Unfit (Belle Point Press, 2023). I write poems, flash fiction, and interviews. I’m a poetry editor at Variant Literature and a poetry reader for River Mouth Review.
I’m also a copywriter. I know too much about SEO and email funnels. I’m a person who started working remotely in 2012. I’ve been a virtual assistant, a project manager, a jewelry photographer, an employee, a business owner, a failed-business owner. I’m a side-project haver, a victim of hustle culture, a beneficiary of hustle-culture, an artist, an editor, a parent, a big fan of people who make things, and occasionally a person with a good work life balance.
I envy everyone who has ever had a podcast. Envy is helpful because it’s like an arrow pointing you to what you want.
What We Aim To Do is an experiment! I have a few episodes recorded, a handful of interviews scheduled, and a lot of excitement!
I hope you consider listening and if I’m terrible, I hope you don’t tell me so!
Tentative launch in early June 2024.
