To research her books, films, and articles, Sy Montgomery has been chased by a silverback gorilla, embraced by a Giant Pacific Octopus and undressed by an orangutan. She's perhaps best known for her 14-year love affair with Christopher Hogwood, a runt piglet, who grew to a 750-pound great Buddha master.
She's been deftly undressed by an orangutan in Borneo, hunted by a tiger in India, and swum with piranhas, electric eels, and dolphins in the Amazon.
Sy has searched the Altai Mountains of Mongolia’s Gobi for snow leopards, hiked into the trackless cloud forest of Papua New Guinea to radio-collar tree kangaroos, and learned to SCUBA dive in order to commune with octopuses.
In this interview, we talk about:
- Sy's childhood and how that played a role in her decision to write books, especially the genre of books she does
- How she KNEW she wanted to be a writer
- How learning about the animal world has made her a better human being
- What her daily process is as an author
- What she wishes she could change about the publishing industry
- Her advice for aspiring writers
- How writing is part of her spiritual life
- How writing has affected her confidence
- And more!
