Lia Leendertz:
A Pivotal Conversation about Writing, Gardening, and Life's Seasons
Welcome to Pivot! Today’s guest is the delectable Lia Leendertz. Lia has published The Almanac: a seasonal guide to [insert year here!] annually, and I have been a buyer since 2020. Her work is so well researched, so beautifully presented and so wonderfully edifying. I keep a copy by my bed and annotate: I hope you do the same.
You can buy it here, or here, or here.
In this episode we discuss Lia’s inspiring career in journalism and horticultural writing, alongside her real experiences of navigating the feast and famine cycle of the writing industry. She delves into the concept and creation of almanacs and discusses her unexpected success and challenges in writing her best-selling book.
