    Ann Kimbrough — Turning Chapters Into Books

    We’re back with the latest Episode of the House of Chapters Podcast, the Podcast for authors writing serialized fiction on Substack — and for readers who want to discover how those stories are made. This episode is a bit different! Topic wise, you can expect the same talking points as usual (plot in 1 minute, inspiration, writing advice, serials), but my chat with Tell Me a Mystery was just one conversation that flowed from the beginning to the end. Very little to edit, because it was just a genuine chat. I love it when I have the feeling we could talk for hours! This is a public episode.

    Why This Reader-Writer Podcast Is Different

    The Podcast for authors writing serialized fiction on Substack — and for readers who want to discover how those stories are made. I love discovering new stories, as a reader & I love talking to other authors, as a writer. In my Podcast, I can do both! My goal is connecting readers and writers more and more. The Episodes so far have been a blast - check out the new titles! Going forward, I will focus even more on the stories, while keeping the structure: 1 minute plot, *more about the story, writing background, mechanics & advice for others. This is a public episode.
