This is a one-woman, (lecture style) Stephen King podcast that analyzes Stephen King’s lesser-known novels and short stories in depth and explores why Stephen King is the greatest fiction writer alive!
Applying what I teach my Fiction students, in this podcast we will examine: Strong Writing, Storytelling Principles, Genre, Literary Analysis, Stephen King Universe Nerdery and the Constant Reader Community at Large!
Old and New King Readers, gather near!
