72. BOOK TALK: The Witch Collector

Have you ever read a book and the world falls away?  Pay attention to those moments. Because as writers, we can learn a lot from the books that inspire us.  We should study what works and why. We can also explore what didn’t work for us and learn how that knowledge can also shape us into the writers we want to be.  In today’s episode, host Erin P.T. Canning discusses The Witch Collector, a fantasy romance novel by Charissa Weaks. Learn what made this book unique with its use of magic and sign language, what the author used as her hook, and Erin’s overall impression of the story.  You’ll also gain tips for world building, introducing several characters, and avoiding the all-too-easy info dump. We’ll also analyze the length of time before we reach the inciting incident (call to action).  Learn more about Charissa’s book: The Witch Collector: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09H6894GR  Connect with Parents Who Write: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/parentswhowrite Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/parentswhowrite Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/parentswhowrite   Send us a text Feeling stuck in your author journey?
