À propos de cet audio

Welcome to The Inspired Writer Collective, your memoir-focused writing podcast. If you've ever felt the pull to write your truth, to shape the chaos of real life into something meaningful, and to share your journey with the world, you're in the right place. We’re your hosts Elizabeth Wilson & Stephanie Oswald, Ph.D., writers, coaches & entrepreneurs who believe in you and know how important it is to find a writing community to guide you on your path to self-publishing.


We believe your voice holds power. Telling your story isn't just a personal act of healing or reflection, it's a gift to the world. Pulling the skeletons out of the closet is challenging - unless you’re writing a memoir. Then it’s called “chapter one”.


Each week, we explore the art, heart, and craft of connecting personal narrative to your writing, memoir or fiction. Whether you're drafting your first chapter, wrestling with the messy middle, or searching for the courage to hit “publish,” we are honored to be your companions on the journey.


The world needs your voice. Memoir is the art of pulling out old skeletons and realizing they were just unspoken chapters of your story.

  • Episode 95: [Lindsay Rice] Writing a Braided Narrative from Idea to Publication
    Dec 1 2025

    Send us a text

    Stephanie Oswald chats with author, Lindsay Rice, about her book Birdenwheel:

    "BIRDENWHEEL features an ensemble cast of Deadheads in the 1990s who follow the iconic rock band, The Grateful Dead on their summer tour."
    You can find the full book description on Lindsay Rice's website here.

    It was such a fun conversation.

    Stephanie first met Lindsay at her book release party in Salida, CO because the Grateful Dead cover band, Roundhouse Assembly, was playing and since following the Grateful Dead is the foundation of the book it had piqued Stephanie’s curiosity.

    Lindsay describes her novel as a braided narrative that weaves together the lives of her characters as they follow the Grateful Dead.

    You’ll have to listen to discover a unique poetry technique Lindsay used to creatively weave the music of the Grateful Dead into her novel.

    There’s a lot packed into this episode from what inspired her characters to how she decided to self-publish.

    At the end of the conversation, Lindsay offers great advice for new writers with the encouragement to keep writing:

    " Keep writing, keep writing, keep writing, keep writing. I think writing is a practice and however it works for you, whether it is isolating yourself or it's doing it every single day in a journal, just develop your own practice of writing and be in a community too. I've also had a lot of writing dates with people. I had writing partners over the years where we would just meet and we would either write for 10, 15 minutes and then check in and then we do it again."
