Can hair tell the story of your ancestors, your family, and your life? Let us know if our author accomplished this in Segment 1 of this episode.

Real Advice for Real Writers

On every episode, Julie Farkas and Krista Lea review first chapters, flash fiction, and short stories submitted by real writers. After reading a submission, Julie and Krista offer suggestions on the universal issues writers struggle with such as dialog, scene setting, developing characters, and story lines. Along the way, they sprinkle in a few inspirational quotes from other writers, and for fun, they read their favorite first lines from the pieces submitted.

To submit a sample of creative writing for possible inclusion in an episode, send your submission in the body of your email (no attachments will be opened) to: 1stDraftPodcast@gmail.com.

We do not send “Rejection” emails. We’ve had enough of that ourselves. But, we will contact you if your piece is chosen for an episode.
