Thank and Grow Rich with Pam Grout (The Open Nesters Podcast Episode 38)

Hi, this is Tessa. Welcome to Episode 38… with Pam Grout. Pam has led a very unconventional life. She has traveled the world. Had a daughter later in life who she tragically lost. She is a prolific writer and is just, simply an incredible guest. I love Pam’s writing and her work has meant a lot to me.

So that means, I am quite pleased to share this wonderful interview with Pam on our Open Nesters Podcast with you.

In Pam’s Words

I am the author of 20 books, two screenplays, a live soap opera, a TV series and enough magazine articles that I haven’t starved in 25 years without a 9-5 job. On this site, you’ll find all sorts of information about my books and about my career as a freelance magazine and travel writer.

If you’re an editor, you can easily click on Portfolio to view writing samples from my illustrious magazine and newspaper career.

If you’re looking for a speaker, you can contact my agent at CAA (Creative Artists Agency) here.

And if you’re a reader of my books, you can find out more about me, read excerpts and take quizzes to see if you’re qualified as an artist, a manifester or a P.L.B. (that’s a person who lives big for those who haven’t yet read Living Big!) And if you’re really jazzed, simply click here.
