About this episode
In this episode, I chat with the wonderful Joselin Linder, author of 'The Family Gene', about her family's unique genetic history and its profound impact. Joselin shares harrowing and hopeful personal stories, discussing the challenges of genetic diseases and the breakthroughs made by a Harvard geneticist. We delve into her writing career, her role as a writing coach, and her latest project, the subscription-based platform Prose Playground. Joselin reads an excerpt from her memoir and reflects on the process of translating complex scientific data into relatable narratives. We also explore her early writing career and the important role a sense of community provides for writers, hence Joselin’s desire to launch Prose Playground.
