    What happens when a few fabulous women get together?

    THIS FREAKING PODCAST

    Wonder how a writer's mind works? Then join Jess Moon, co-founder of Shadow Spark Publishing, and her authors Erika McCorkle, Valerie Storm, and Alyssa Lauseng as they talk about everything writing: how characters and plots are made, what inspires them as writers, and how expansive world-building can be in fantasy!

    In this podcast, listeners will also get an in-depth look into the worlds of Alvertaen, the Pentagonal Dominion, Demon Storm, and Alyssa's World. Expect guests, fun, and even a bit of anime, gaming, and music talk (where the best inspiration is, really). And who knows? Maybe with us, you'll be able to find your spark.

    Rosalind Dando's publishing journey with SSP has been a bit more...slow burn...than most. Today, Jess, Erika, and Ashley chat with her about her upcoming middle grade novel, A Gift of Words.

    We're on our best behavior today! Come check out what makes her work so enthralling!

    What is a character flaw? Sort of a gray area? Clear-cut? Traits, personality, behavior? Major or minor?!

    Today, Val is joined by Kori and Jade to analyze character "flaws" in their writing. Stubborn, isolating, overthinkers, and those who care a bit too much - and we haven't even talked about antagonists yet!

    In the end, are "character flaws" even REAL? Tune in and find out!
