Word of the week: Littoral

In this episode the hosts discuss novellas! From what separates a novella from other forms of short fiction to stylistic expectations and the strategy they require, for such small books there's certainly a lot to talk about. For instance, how many characters can be included in a novella before the quality of the character development starts to suffer?

Join Ash and Karissa as they discuss writing, editing, and publishing possibilities for novellas.

Word of the week: Axiomatic

In this episode the hosts discuss what to keep in mind when crafting romantic and other relationships for your side or supporting characters. Did you know that a supporting character's choice in relationship can say something about them -- and may even say something about the main character?

Join Ash and Karissa as they discuss the value of including relationships for side characters in your writing!
