Description

You’ve heard that old saw, “write what you know” – usually intended to mean to stay in your lane.


But is there more to it?


As either an aspiring or established fiction writer, tapping into your own knowledge and experiences to craft a story makes it more personal to you – and to your readers.


In this episode, Sara Tunder joins internationally-acclaimed bestselling fiction novelist Lana McAra for a conversation on how to tap into the knowledge, interests, and passions you already have and translate them into a story a broad and wide audience will enjoy.


Showing your readers how much of yourself you really pour into your work is a faster path to #Unputdownable fiction writing.


Tune in now and get Sara Tunder’s thoughts on:



  • What “write what you know” means

  • Easy-to-follow examples of “write what you know” you can adapt today

  • Whether you should only write what you know

  • How you, as a fiction writer, can implement “write what you know” into your work

  • And much, much more!
