Writing an Epistolary Novel and Books Representing Physical Disabilities with Caitlin Miller (E149)
In today’s episode, I am chatting with Caitlin Miller, represented by The Steve Laube Agency. Caitlin has been writing stories for nearly a decade and self-published two books in 2022. She has also been an English teacher to Japanese students for six years and a freelance editor for two years. When she’s not writing or editing, Caitlin loves frequenting bookstores and coffee shops, and you’ll often find her with her nose in a book or a pen in hand as she jots down storyline ideas. Caitlin is an award-winning author and poet. We discussed both of her novels within this episode, The Memories We Painted and Our Yellow Tape Letters.
Episode Highlights:
Her experience moving around the world with her family as English teachers, including her favorite place to have lived.
Writing an epistolary novel inspired by her love of letter writing and how she keeps up a penpal relationship to this day.
Using fiction as a tool for empathy, healing and self-discovery.
Crafting stories with representation of physical disabilities and mental health. Her book flight includes books representing this theme.
