KILL THE DOG | How to break your reader's heart (and then make them laugh until they cry)

Writers Drinking Whiskey Open Bar | Author panel on eliciting emotion

Writers Drinking Whiskey is not your granddad’s writers-selling-their-books podcast. It is a celebration of stories and storytellers, and we probably talk about life, dealing with adversity, overcoming failure and rejection, how to make a kickass cocktail, pet peeves, guilty pleasures, and everything else thrice as much as we talk writing craft and publishing. If I’m trying to sell anything, it’s the author, and if you watch an episode and fall in love with a guest, there’s a GREAT chance they’ll show up again and again.

Pour yourself a drink and settle in for a candid conversation about emotional storytelling. Our panel of authors reveals their personal struggles, breakthrough moments, and exactly how they create those gut-punch scenes that stay with readers forever.
