Writers Chat, hosted by Jean Wise, Johnnie Alexander, and Brandy Brow, is the show where we talk about all things writing, by writers and for writers!
“Because talking about writing is more fun than actually doing it.”
Writer’s Journey with Sophia L. Henson
Sophia recently signed a contract with Enclave Publishing for her debut novel, shares her writing journey as a “series of encouragement” that began with a love of reading. She went from editing her mother’s autobiography when she was in high school to “editing for food” as a college student. After raising her children, Sophia heard about and participated in National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo), and decided to “make space to write” at least once a year. You are sure to be encouraged by Sophia’s philosophy of writing and the lessons she shares about her own path to publication.

She’s lived on a tiny island in Alaska, the bustling cities of New York and Boston, raised kids in Tennessee and now resides just outside Birmingham, AL. After 30+ years of marriage, seven children, and numerous pets, Sophia still fits into her high school earrings.

Book Chat: Word Painting
In this Writers Chat episode, the team gathers for another fantastic Book Chat, this time on Rebecca McClanahan’s Word Painting. We touched on highlights from this insightful work which breaks down the process of describing the setting, scene, characters, and so much more, into its many facets. Each lesson comes with practical exercises that we know will help fiction and nonfiction writers learn to write more descriptively.
Watch the January 24th replay.
