July 30, 2020

We’ve moved!

The Story Works Round Table podcast is now on Substack, where we can offer even more great content to our fans and listeners.

Want to join the conversation?

Subscribers can sit with us at the round table to talk story craft every month. When we read a guest’s book, you can, too, then come discuss it with us and each other. Want to ask writing questions? Bring them to the round table!

We can’t wait to see how we grow over there. Won’t you join us?

 

In this week’s Story Works Round Table, Alida, Robert, and Kathryn check in with each other. How are we handling the ever-changing world situation as writers?
