Historical Fantasy and the Making of a Heroine with Lewis Jorstad (E38)
In today’s episode, I am chatting with Lewis Jorstad. Lewis is a developmental editor, writing craft author and the founder of The Novel Smithy. In his free time, he is a lover of video games and travel, as well as the steward of a very creaky sailboat. When he is not working on stories of his own, he spends his time teaching up-and-coming writers the skills they need to write their dream novels.
Lewis packed this episode full of so much information! All the behind-the-scenes storytelling, writing craft and especially those of you like me who are not writers, I think you will find this episode fascinating! His book flight today focuses on Historical Fantasy including one non-fiction book that details the writing skills including within his first two recommendations. Tune in to hear so many examples of heroes and heroines in this episode and I bet in ways you never thought of.
