06. Leigh Medeiros - Author & Creativity Coach

Meet Leigh Medeiros! Leigh is a published author and screenwriter who’s been supporting creative people in various capacities for 30 years. Her book The 1-minute Writer is a fun handbook designed to help you flex your writing muscles and create your best work. And amazingly she’s recently co-produced a climate-related Pitchfest for TV and film with Young Entertainment Activists in L.A. and founded the Linden Place Writers Residency in Bristol, Rhode Island. In our chat, we talk about creativity and the importance of being a cheerleader for our fellow creatives. We also cover the fascinating topic of combining environmental & climate change messaging in the art we create, including the scripts we write as a form of activism for our planet. Leigh’s curiosity and positivity make me smile and I’m sure you’ll be smiling too!
