EPISODE 240I

Today's guest is author and literary agent, Cynthia Ruchti. Her newest book, Facing the Dawn, has just come out with Revell.

With over 30 years' experience on radio, Cynthia learned to write for the ear, how a passage sounds, and that experience shines through in her novels. She encourages listeners to think about how very many ways there are to tell a story -- novels, nonfiction, short stories, radio shows, plays, blog posts, magazine articles, etc. -- and find the one you're best at.

She talks about her writing process, how to find the emotion for your characters, even if you haven't experienced it, and she shares the best writing tip she ever got.

You can learn more about Cynthia and her books and speaking at her website, https://cynthiaruchti.com/ or hemmedinhope.com, easier to spell. Follow her on most social media as Cynthia Ruchti.
