We are so excited to announce the launch of our new show. Story Makers is a podcast that features in-depth conversations with accomplished writers, filmmakers and industry experts about story craft, technique, habit and survival–everything you need to know to stay inspired, connect to your creativity, find others’ wonderful stories and your own success.

The first round of conversations are up at storymakers.com and you can subscribe at iTunes. These are with best-selling and award-winning authors Jillian Lauren (memoir, novel, blog) and Boris Fishman (novel, journalism), as well as rising star and former fiction editor Christine Hyung-Oak Lee whose essay in buzzfeed led to a two-book contract, a forthcoming memoir and a forthcoming novel.

Angie and I co-host the conversations, and along with our guests, we share each week what we are working on in our own story making and, in a segment called, “Steal This,” we all discuss something we’ve come across recently that we’d like to lift into our own work. As T.S. Eliot said, “Amateur poets borrow; professional poets steal.”
