    Between the Edits: Interview with McKenzie Melody

    Welcome back to Between the Edits! In this week's episode, I sat down with McKenzie Melody - a marketing professional, bookstagrammer, and pre-published author. We discuss her journey into writing, how creative writing and marketing are more similar than one might realize, and how storytelling unites us as humans! I also spend a good amount of time picking McKenzie's brain about folklore and mythology, which is a topic McKenzie is well-versed in and very enthusiastic about! This conversation has a wide-range of topics that may appeal to you, and I'm excited for you to hear it!

    Between the Edits: Interview with Adam Bassett

    In this week’s episode, I sat down with independent author, illustrator, and map designer, Adam Bassett. He is the author of a collection of sci-fi short stories, a full length novel, and (as of today!) a resource book for authors looking to learn about setting design! We enjoy an in-depth discussion of his full-length novel, Copper Skin, Oaken Lungs, and I get the opportunity to pick his brain about how important setting design is to a novel, the biggest level-up an author can pursue for their setting, and how to approach map drawing! There’s so much to explore in this episode, and I hope you enjoy it. Today marks the release date for his book An Author’s Guide to Setting Design: Worldbuilding & Cartography. You can check it out at his website below!

    Between the Edits: Interview with Thomas Salerno

    In this week’s episode, I sit down with someone you might recognize if you’re active in the Substack sphere — Thomas Salerno! This is an excellent episode with a great breadth of topics, and I’m excited to share it with you. We discuss pop culture and some of the nuances of modern storytelling, what it’s like to write within the children’s narrative non-fiction genre, the themes behind your favorite dinosaur movie franchise, and more! We also dip our toes into some theological topics as well as how Thomas wanted more resources as a young, curious child, to show how reason and faith go hand-in-hand. Now, years later, Thomas’s book Riddle of the Tongue Stones has recently won first place in the “Children’s Books - Young Readers” category by the Association of Catholic Publishers 2026 Excellence in Publishing Awards.

    Between the Edits: Interview with Tea and Tales Writer's Podcast

    In this week’s episode, I’m joined by the lovely ladies from the Tea and Tales Writer’s Podcast: Sara Sampson and Madlené Nel. After they met in an international writer’s group, the two writers realized they could spend hours talking about the craft of writing and the lessons they learned about publishing. When another member of the group suggested they would be perfect for a podcast, the two couldn’t help but agree. Now, they’re over four seasons in and thriving! While these ladies have a wealth of knowledge on so many important topics, I wanted to learn more about their personal experiences with starting the podcast, growing the podcast, and how the journey has impacted their writing along the way.
