About the Episode

In this episode, we speak with Preeti Chhibber, a writer who comes from a place that many of us do: being a fan. She has taken her interests and skills-often honed online-from nontraditional writing to more traditional publishing. As creatures of the internet, we also talk about how we can all be better consumers of online information.
