Note sull'episodio

Welcome to Write-Handed! In this episode, we explore the core of story craft by asking a fundamental question: why do people read? Fiction writing allows an escape from our daily routines and entry into new worlds, eras or perspectives. Non-fiction writing can be used as an education device or personal growth. Reading has been shown to reduce stress and reduce heartrate.

Join us as we analyze some of our favorite books and authors to break down what makes great writing.

Michael Crichton uses meticulously researched science and speculative technology to spark intellectual curiosity and create high-stakes techno-thrillers like Jurassic Park.
Elizabeth George builds deeply realistic, memorable characters who make story worlds come alive across her intricate mystery novels.
Lawrence Block delivers rich character-driven mysteries through distinct voices, moral complexity, and iconic atmosphere in his noir fiction.
Barbara Kingsolver crafts vivid, immersive settings and masterful descriptions that anchor powerful narratives such as The Poisonwood Bible.
Carl Hiaasen weaves satire, eccentric characters, and environmental commentary into fast-paced capers that deliver both comedy and catharsis.
Dean Koontz excels at high-tension plotting and suspenseful storytelling that keeps readers hooked from start to finish.
