Making a mark without leaving a digital footprint. It's tough to do, but debut novelist Elizabeth Castellano is pulling it off.
Elizabeth, or Liz as she goes by, is the author of "Save What's Left."
In a field where a strong digital footprint is often a predictor of professional success, Liz is defying the odds.
Her book is one of the most buzzed-about titles this summer. People Magazine called it one of the best books of the summer.
You can credit a lot of things for Liz's success, but a strong social media presence isn't one of them.
Liz has a three-line bio on her website and doesn't do social media.
"I got off social media a couple of years after college. I just decided not for me. I don't like it. I think there's more harm than good. I just felt better being off of it, and so it just stuck, and you do miss things," says Liz.
On this 'Dying to Ask':- What pushed Liz off social media, and how that impacted her mental health and creativity.
- How unusual it is for a "creative" not to use social media to promote a product.
- What it's like to be an "overnight success."
