LenaMunzerGreat tips on line level writing!Loved your interview with Christine on line level writing! So often we hear “show don’t tell”—but line level seems to go one step further: feel, move, immerse. I appreciate all of your tips and resources (plus the Taylor Swift shoutout!!). Thanks Demi & Christine!

BBNNC1Helpful Writing Resources in Fast-Moving ChaptersThe Literary Blend has become a go-to podcast for writing tips and strategies. Demi does a great job keeping the conversations focused, and she’s lined up guests with a variety of experiences in writing and publishing. I like the relatively short nature of each episode, too.
