Literary Aviatrix: The Power of Story - Women in Aviation

In this Author’s Note from my Writers' Room interview with Robin D. Kardon, she shares her writing journey, talks about determining your why as a writer, and offers advice about how to develop your craft through structured programs like San Diego Writers, Ink.
In my intro I mention that Robin hosted a workshop with the Aviatrix Writers entitled What Are You Writing and Why?
She also talks about the first two books in her series, Flygirl and Angel Flight. Book three, Flying Home, will be out in February and is available for pre-order now.

In this interview with Amy Shira Teitel about her book Fighting for Space: Two Pilots and Their Historic Battle for Female Spaceflight, Amy talks about whether Jerrie Cobb had a reasonable expectation that she and her cohorts who were tested for the space program by Dr. Lovelace in the 1960’s had a shot at being astronauts. She also highlights how the letters between the 13 participants revealed that not everyone was on the same page in terms of hopes and expectations. If you’re into mid-century space history, Amy is the host of The Vintage Space YouTube channel. Check it out!
