How to Support the Creativity Found Podcast

Initially skeptical about pursuing a career in film, Tyler Schwanke's younger, practical self chose to take a journalism course at college. However, his true calling in film and storytelling beckoned, and he tried out a number of programs, before completing his mixed degree.After college, back in his high-school bedroom at his parents' home, Tyler needed to earn some money, and took a security job, where in his mind he began planning a fantasy of how an aspiring filmmaker might make some money – through nefarious means – to fund his passion.Moving into a recruitment role, Tyler's employer offered funding for further education, and since he had begun dabbling in writing, Tyler took the opportunity to learn more about the craft.Tyler's first published novel, Breaking In – an evolution of his earlier heist fantasy – was not the first he wrote, and in this chat we explore the challenges and triumphs of Tyler's creative process, as he reveals the value he gleans from feedback and self-critique.Tyler’s personal anecdotes about balancing his writing with a full-time job and the support of his wife paint a vivid picture of the grit and perseverance required to succeed in the creative arts, while his insights into the publishing process, including the arduous journey of querying agents and working with editors, offer valuable lessons for aspiring writers. Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/creativityfoundpodcast/">@creativityfoundpodcast</a> Threads: <a href="https://www.threads.net/@creativityfoundpodcast">@creativityfoundpodcast</a> Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/creativityfoundpodcast">@creativityfoundpodcast</a> and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/creativityfound">Creativity Found group</a> YouTube <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@creativityfoundpodcast">@creativityfoundpodcast</a> Researched, edited and produced by <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/claire-waite-brown-66598b26/">Claire Waite Brown</a> Music: Day Trips by Ketsa <a href="https://ketsa.uk/product/undercover-ketsa/">Undercover / Ketsa</a> Creative Commons License Free Music Archive - <a href="https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Ketsa/Raising_Frequecy/Day_Trips">Ketsa - Day Trips</a> Artworks: Emily Portnoi <a href="https://emilyportnoi.co.uk/">emilyportnoi.co.uk</a> Photo: <a href="https://fisherstudios.co.uk/ella-pallett-portfolio/">Ella Pallet</a>Affordably advertise on this podcast by emailing claire@creativityfound.co.uk, or <a href="https://cal.com/clairewaitebrown/coffeechat">book a call here</a>.
