The Speakeasy: Conversations with the #WritingCommunity

This is a podcast for you and for me! We love a good story! If you do, too, wouldn"t it be great to hear from the authors directly? What drew them to create the worlds they did, inspired the characters inhabiting them, and mixed the conflicts and desires, hopes and dreams driving their story plots right into our hearts and imaginations? The Speakeasy introduces you to the Writing Community, where you"ll learn more about the authors you may already know, but also get to meet many new and emerging
