Importance of Process over success

Ann James interview on Reading with a chance of tacos

Importance of Process over success – an interview with Ann James.

Today’s guest is a pioneer of children’s illustration and literature in Australia. With over 70 books, a plethora of awards and over 40 years of working with the Australian book community, she is a mentor and inspiration to some of our greatest writers and illustrators.

She’s popped in today to discuss the importance of ‘process’ rather than success. This is a hugely important topic. And really, who better to talk all about it than the legend herself, the wonderful Ann James. Woo-hooo!
