say no to niching and 00s magazine culture with journalist and podcaster alison perry
In this episode, podcaster, journalist, content creator and mum of three Alison Perry talks to me about how she always wanted to write, and her journey from penning her own Sweet Valley High books, to working at some of the most famous magazines of the noughties, to writing her own book for twin parents. We also talk about why niching isn't on Alison's radar as she continues to adds more strings to her bow, with a recent foray into podcast production, alongside setting up her first physical business - a kids' sleepover party concept. PLUS... more to enjoy on toxic noughties magazine culture, talking to our kids about work, and her hopes the future.
