Writer Ann Kidd Taylor

Hey there word nerds! Today I have the pleasure of welcoming Ann Kidd Taylor to the show! Ann first broke on to the literary scene in 2009 with the New York Times bestselling memoir Traveling with Pomegranates, co-written with her mother Sue Monk Kidd. She returns this summer with her debut novel, The Shark Club, which has received glowing early praise and is available in bookstores now!  Listen in as Ann and I tease apart The Shark Club and discuss both its unique characters and setting. In this episode Ann and I discuss  How to write a character driven novel with a plot that will keep readers turning pages. Why writing an abnormal protagonist not only makes a story unique but adds tension. How to craft multisensory scenes that bring to life a setting, such as underwater, which differs so much from your own experience. How to write realistic animal characters without inferring human qualities on to them. How to prepare yourself to write something outside your area of expertise.  Plus, Ann's #1 tip for writers.
