Click Here to ask your book writing and publishing questions!In Episode 63 of the Write the Damn Book Already podcast, I had the opportunity to chat with Pamela Gwyn Kripke, a journalist and author whose writing has appeared in dozens of publications, including The New York Times, The Chicago Tribune, The Huffington Post, Slate, Salon, and Parenting. Pamela's novel, At the Seams (Open Books, April 2023), details the journey of precocious eight-year-old Kate Nichols, whose understanding of her world is shattered when she learns of an uncle who died inexplicably in the hospital just days after his birth. Interview Highlights:  How to turning a real-life event into the premise for a novel (plus when---and why---the fiction component took over) Pamela's unique writing process when it comes to “layering in” detail (that doesn't work for most people!)
