This month I chat with Jaclyn Moriarty about her novel Gravity is the Thing. We talked about a structure she calls ‘fragmented storytelling’, the editing process, techniques for firing creativity and the idea of trust between the author and reader.

In this episode, Candice talks about her drafting and editing processes, how she pitched the idea to her publisher, how she structured the novel with an A and B plot and multiple vignettes, the techniques she uses to make the reader care about the characters, how she goes about creating and maintaining tension, and so much more.

Kylie and I took a deep dive into her gripping family drama The Way Back. We spoke about her process, scene structure, dialogue, pacing, and the importance of reading your novel out loud.

Natasha Lester was our very first guest on the podcast and she was fabulous. We covered so many elements of writing The Paris Secret including first lines, prologue, plot twists, dual narratives and so much more.
