Show Notes It was an honour to speak with the talented, thoughtful, and truly lovely Emma Knight, author of the buzzy debut, THE LIFE CYCLE OF THE COMMON OCTOPUS (just announced as Read With Jenna’s first book club pick of 2025). A Toronto-based writer and co-founder of Greenhouse Juice (with two cookbooks under her belt), Emma’s debut novel takes place in Scotland, where Penelope Winters navigates her first year at Edinburgh University while untangling a family mystery. Striking every chord I love in a good book — coming-of-age, friendship, motherhood, romance, and intrigue — plus the introspection that comes with finding ourselves while unearthing the past lives of those who came before us — I think you’ll adore this one, too (trust ) We chat about everything from the publication process, to the imaginary characters living rent-free in our heads, to the advice she gave her daughters on what constitutes a good life: “choose something you always want to get better at and something that makes you feel like yourself.” Putting her own words into action, she finally plucked up the courage to put pen to paper and follow her dream of becoming a published author. Emma is, without a doubt, a writer to watch ️ The Life Cycle of the Common Octopus is available for pre-order now and will be out on January 7, 2025 (CAN/U.S.) and April 2025 in the U.K. CONNECT WITH EMMA Instagram: @emma.knightwrites Buy the Book: THE LIFE CYCLE OF THE COMMON OCTOPUS Word Weaver Podcast Links Show Notes: louiseclairejohnson.com/podcast/emmaknight Instagram: @wordweaverpodcast Listen on all podcast platforms including Apple iTunes, Spotify, YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts!

Ch. 83 | VIRGO SEASON! What's in my Tote Bag? Writing Stationary & Back to School Supplies

It's Virgo Season! Happy September! The Fall Equinox isn't until September 22, so still time to enjoy the last gasps of summer, but to kick off my favourite month/season, I thought it'd be fun to do a "what's in my tote bag" edition of the podcast. In this episode, I share all of my favourite writing stationary essentials with a heavy dose of back to school supply nostalgia.
