    What if your story could reach far beyond your classroom? In this episode of LinkedUp, Jerri and Jamie sit down with education editor Jacquie Gardy to explore what it takes to turn an educator’s experiences, ideas, and passion into a book that can influence and inspire others. Jacquie takes us behind the scenes of editing and publishing, sharing how editors help authors find their voice, shape their ideas, and bring stories worth telling to a wider audience. Because educators have more than lessons to share, they have experiences that can challenge thinking, inspire others, and add to the larger conversation about education. If you’ve ever thought, “I have something to say, but I’m not sure anyone needs to hear it,” this conversation might change your mind. --- ABOUT OUR GUEST Jacquie Gardy is an editor, learning consultant, and education leader who helps authors, educators, and organizations turn complex ideas into clear, compelling stories. Her career has taken her from Maryland classrooms to global education and professional learning roles, including leading virtual learning initiatives at the U.S. Department of State. A certified ISTE Educator and Community Leader, Jacquie serves on the SXSW EDU Advisory Board and the K12Leaders Board. She was named a 2024 Innovative Leader by Tech & Learning and selected for the 2025 LeveragED Collective. --- SUBSCRIBE TO THE SERIES: ⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠YouTube Music⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠Overcast⁠⁠⁠ FOLLOW US: ⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠ POWERED BY CLASSLINK: ClassLink provides one-click single sign-on into web and Windows applications, and instant access to files at school and in the cloud.
