    High Plains Book Award WINNER, Craig Lancaster on Being a Writer

    High Plains Book Award WINNER, Craig Lancaster on BEING a WRITER // LITerally Podcast
    Craig Lancaster, winner of the 2022 High Plains Book Award in Fiction, joined us on the podcast from Montana. Craig has so many insights when it comes to BEING a writer, to believing in it as a career. It was really refreshing to chat with him about how 'writer' can be our profession, and how life weaves and changes and that it's all a good thing. I met Craig in Billings this fall, and we became instant friends. - Kase

    LITerally Podcast Ep. 58 - Taylor Garcia, "Functional Families" 
    We talked about a lot more than writing in this episode with author Taylor Garcia. We jumped into everything writers think about when writing that readers probably never know! Writing isn’t just putting words on paper. It’s a life. We delve into all of this.

Love this one!

LITerally Podcast is a great listen -- interesting and insightful without taking itself too seriously (i.e. I laugh a lot as I listen). Perfect for avid readers or writers, this podcast hasn't disappointed me yet.

Shhhhh

Why is everyone talking In the background while a reading is happening? It's very distracting. I was on my bike while listening. I must have missed this was happening in a book store.

This aptly named podcasts appeals to the creator in us all. Insightful and with just enough humor to counter the stuffiness of serious smarts, Kase allows listeners an insight into work-a-day writers, poets and more.
