Manage episode 502055130 series 3685303
Debuting thriller author Marie Still joins host Sheridan Sharp to talk shop about how she keeps a balance writing and publishing four different books at a time. Talk about building realistic characters and keeping your pacing without frustrating the reader with too little details, the importance of understanding the craft, and embracing that once it’s in the reader’s hands, it’s their story. Marie also explains why it matters to depict mental health in literature and the things that make people snap out of character on this episode of Am I Write? Podcast.
