the writer’s story
Who's the person behind the pen? And just how did that book come to be? Tune in for the personal stories of writers, learn about their process, and what keeps the muse hanging round, as each month co-hosts Meredith Cole and Kristin Swenson talk "shop" with writers across genres and with the folks such as agents, editors, and retreat hosts whose own creative work helps to make the stories happen.
Kristin Swenson's publications reflect her academic background as a professor of religious studies. She's the author of A Most Peculiar Book: The Inherent Strangeness of the Bible; God of Earth: Discovering a Radically Ecological Christianity; Bible Babel: Making Sense of the Most Talked About Book of All Time; and Living through Pain: Psalms and the Search for Wholeness. Passionate about environmental issues, Kristin has several projects in the works including several works of fiction.
Meredith Cole began her career as a filmmaker and screenwriter. Her short stories and essays have appeared in various anthologies and magazines. She was the winner of the St. Martin’s Press/Malice Domestic competition and her first book, Posed for Murder, was nominated for an Agatha Award for best first mystery. She lives in Charlottesville, Virginia and is hard at work writing more books.
