I give some recommendations for my favorite books for writers. Then my guest, middle grade novelist and English professor Erin Dionne, chats with me about revision tips and tricks, plotting vs pantsing, story structure, and more. Spoiler alert: There is no one way to be a writer! Oh also we talk a bit about contract killers and trivia addiction. Obviously.
SHOW NOTES:
* The Literaticast has a Patreon - throw in a buck and you just might win books! (Also, you'll help keep new episodes of the podcast coming. Yay!)
* Erin Dionne is on the web, and on twitter. (Also, I'M on twitter!)
* Blake Snyder's "Beat Sheet" for plotting (See the book SAVE THE CAT, below, for more details)
* Another example of cinematic plot points
* Erin's first picture book is coming this fall, and you can pre-order it now!
* Teachers Write is a great FREE program that runs over the summer, July 9-Aug 3, particularly geared towards teachers who also write books. Check it out for mentorship and inspiration!
