The Artist's Mind, by Kathryn Vercillo

"Vercillo knits together the artists’ stories with intricate, deeply profound knowledge about the mental health issues in discussion without feeling sterile or like reading a textbook." https://createmefree.substack.com/cp/136527480

The Research Phase in Writing Feels Like Falling in Love

I have read many, many memoirs and novels ... But I’ve never gone back and re-read those original books. Until now. And it’s opened up this gaping cave that I’m strangely eager to go spelunking in. Perhaps because the cave of my own mind isn’t as dark as it once was and I feel like I have the headlight to see more this time around. https://createmefree.substack.com/p/the-research-phase-in-writing-feels

I am a writer because I am a reader. Although the act of writing feels as critical to my life as the act of breathing, reading runs even more deeply through me. It is in many ways my heartbeat. So, researching through reading is one of my favorite parts of writing. I read dozens of books during the research phase of writing The Artist’s Mind. But here are the five that really stood out as critical to making the book come to life. https://createmefree.substack.com/cp/136373882 Degenerate Art, Music For Studying, Avant Garde Artists, Paul Klee, The Shepherd, Art Historian, Pencil Portrait, Human Emotions, Outsider Art

How to Do a Virtual Book Tour on Substack (or anywhere online)

Imagine that you’re stopping at a different bookstore in your city every day for a week to promote your book. Each event will have similarities but also hopefully differences that are inspired by and aligned with the vibe of that particular bookstore. That’s how I picture my virtual book tour, except that it takes place on people’s unique Substack sites rather than in brick and mortar stores. https://createmefree.substack.com/p/how-to-do-a-virtual-book-tour-on

Excerpt from The Artist’s Mind: Richard Dadd

Book excerpt: Richard Dadd murdered his father during a psychotic episode and spent the rest of his life in psychiatric prisons including the infamous Bedlam. He did not paint in his first year, which was “one of great agitation.” But then, he began to paint prolifically, an activity which seemed to calm him immensely. https://createmefree.substack.com/cp/136165810

The Artists Mind by Kathryn Vercillo – an interview

Author interview: @artistclancy and I discussed my book as well as: why I wrote a book about it instead of doing something like a podcast, and why it’s about artists instead of other careers. We also discussed the impact of war, global trauma, racism, sexism, and other aspects that intersect with individual mental health and the role art plays there. We also talk about self-care, staying inspired, and my pups. https://sueclancy.com/the-artists-mind-by-kathryn-vercillo-an-interview/
