A guest episode in which Kelsey chats with author C.E. Clayton. Come along as we discuss what it’s like crafting characters that inhabit drastically different genres. We complain about author typecasting and chat about how to avoid that pitfall. We talk about creating characters that are both relatable and products of their world. We revel in Angelfall by Susan Ee and get caught up in all manner of bookish topics. You can find full show notes on www.readwriterepeatpod.com.
