Our podcast guest this week is Natalie Dossett (Sarita, Atmosphere Press, September 2024). Natalie's novel, set in west Texas during the 1920's Prohibition era, is a love letter to where she grew up and her family's history, We discuss how she learned skills through a creative writing program, her method of doing historical research, and how she advises new writers to find the time to write through a structured process, no matter what it is. Lastly, we discuss how entering contests can provide needed exposure for your books through not only your own PR but those from the contest management as well.
Natalie Musgrave Dossett, award winning author, grew up in San Antonio. A seventh-generation Texan, she spent a lot of time on ranches listening to (mostly tall) tales of the Wild Horse Desert.
