Sarito Carroll is an author whose childhood was shaped by the chaotic, free-love world of the Osho Rajneesh movement, where she experienced both a deep sense of belonging and the wounds of neglect and sexual misconduct. Her debut memoir, In the Shadow of Enlightenment, unravels the complexities of growing up in a cult, the struggle to break free, and the long journey toward healing and self-acceptance. After decades of silence, she is reclaiming her voice and exposing the hidden realities of a system that promised love but demanded devotion at any cost. Through her writing, Sarito offers a powerful testament to resilience, truth, and the strength it takes to confront a formidable institution that seeks to keep stories like hers suppressed.

How to go from feeling your way through a story to actually knowing a bit about it before you start! Also - what does a cat have to do with kindness?
Ann Rose is a typical Taurus—loyal but stubborn, which means being an author is perfect. While asking the private group chat for ideas on what to include in this bio, Ann was reminded that some of her greatest qualities are her awesome best friends from high school—a fact she couldn’t argue with. She loves dark chocolate, sarcasm, her family, tacos, and her cats—obviously not in that order. Ann also writes young adult novels under the pen name A.M. Rose. The Seemingly Impossible Love Life of Amanda Dean is her most recent novel.

Ally and Rachael talk about FUN and celebration as well as living (and thriving) without alcohol. Don't miss this one!
Ally Nikolaus is an award-winning filmmaker and author of the upcoming memoir, I’m Gay and Drink Water. Their memoir covers six years of their life from the time they were a freshman on the University of Mississippi’s soccer team to when they came out at age twenty-four while living, working and going to school in Chicago. Alcohol consumption played a major role in Ally’s story. Through trial and error, Ally found that the only way to live as their truest, healthiest, and most creative self was to quit drinking alcohol altogether. Being alcohol free is the best thing they've done for their creative process and mental health. Outside of writing and working as a legal assistant during the day, Ally enjoys baking, Pilates and spending time with friends, family, their fiancée and their puppy, Stella. Ally has a B.A. in Speech Communications from Webster University and an M.F.A. in Screenwriting from DePaul University.

Danielle Metcalfe-Chenail talks about using the Try Jar (genius!) and the lily pad method to keep doing what you really WANT to be doing in your writing.
She's a multi-genre and multi-passionate author, writing coach, editor and storyteller. She's probably best known for her inclusive aviation histories and picture books - but she's also working on memoir and book club fiction. She loves getting lost in research, travelling, and going on adventures with her little family. It makes it all the sweeter when she's reading fireside (or seaside) in her Nova Scotia, Canada home.

Airlie attended the Rhode Island School of Design, where she majored in illustration and focused on children’s books, a natural choice given her love for saturated color and expressive characters.

Anne Kemp shares the wisdom of just doing SOMETHING to get yourself the slightest bit unstuck - it all adds up!
Anne Kemp is a bestselling author of romantic comedies. She loves reading (and she does it ridiculously fast, too!), gluten-free baking (because everyone needs a hobby that makes them crazy), and finding time to binge-watch her favorite shows. She grew up in Maryland but made Los Angeles her home until she encountered her own real-life meet-cute at a friend's wedding where she ended up married to one of the groomsmen. For real.
Anne now lives on the Kapiti Coast in New Zealand, and even though she was married at Mt. Doom, no…she doesn’t have a Hobbit. However, she and her husband do have a terrier named George Clooney and a NZ Heading dog named Charlie. When she’s not writing, she’s usually with them taking a long walk on the river by their home.

KJ Dell'Antonia shares some amazing ways to get unstuck in her normal, down-to-earth, hilarious way.
Here's Rachael's Kickstarter, Unstuck!
KJ Dell’Antonia is a New York Times best-selling author whose novels The Chicken Sisters and In Her Boots explore the same themes she once explored as a journalist: the importance of finding joy in our families, the challenge of figuring out what makes us happy and the need to value the life we’re living more than the one in our phones and laptops, every single time. Her third novel, Playing the Witch Card, throws magic into the mix, but witchcraft, like reality TV and literary fraud, rarely really solves anyone’s problems. She is also the former editor of the New York Times’ Motherlode blog, the co-host of the #AmWriting podcast, and a passionate bookstagrammer (@kjda). She lives in Lyme, New Hampshire, with her husband, children and assorted dogs, cats, chickens and horses.

Editor Damien Pitter blows Rachael’s MIND in this episode when he talks about the only way structure feels to a reader. She’s still reeling. Also on tap: what kind of editing is essential vs. skippable? And how the heck do you figure out when to hire an editor?
After teaching students to understand and write stories for more than twenty years as an international educator and counselor, Damien Pitter now has a small business editing and coaching adult writers to help them find and tell their stories. Educated in Canada, Damien studied Film, Theater and Education, and then earned an MFA in Creative Writing from the University of British Columbia. As the child of Jamaican and Chinese-Jamaican immigrants, his interest in different stories led him to live and work in six countries on four continents, while his work as a counselor taught him the power that story has to shape our reality. He lives with his partner, novelist Monna McDiarmid, in Yokohama, Japan, and on the South Shore of Nova Scotia, Canada. You can learn more about working with him at www.damienpitter.com.

The daughter of a law professor and a potter, Leslie Karst waited tables and sang in a new wave rock band before deciding she was ready for a “real” job and ending up at Stanford Law School. It was during her career as a research and appellate attorney in Santa Cruz, California, that she rediscovered her youthful passion for food and cooking, at which point she once again returned to school—this time to earn a degree in culinary arts. Now retired from the law, Leslie spends her days penning the Sally Solari culinary mystery series, as well as cooking, gardening, cycling, and singing alto in her local community chorus. She and her wife and their Jack Russell mix split their time between Santa Cruz and Hilo, Hawai’i, and her memoir Justice is Served has just been released. https://amzn.to/3JzdAYO

A fan of everything spooky and indulgent, Kit Mayquist is a bisexual, trans masculine writer who can be found in the historic shadows of Boston, Massachusetts, hunched over his desk with a sullen Persian cat in his lap and surrounded by antiques. He has an MA in Medieval History from the University of Iceland, and a BA from Portland State University (and if you ask him, yes, Stumptown will always have the best coffee). Tripping Arcadia is his debut novel.

Chandra Prasad is the author of the critically acclaimed novels On Borrowed Wings, Death of a Circus, Breathe the Sky, and Damselfly, a female-driven young adult text used both individually in classrooms and in parallel with Lord of the Flies. Prasad is also the editor of—and a contributor to—Mixed, the first-ever anthology of short stories on the multiracial experience. Being half-Asian herself, Prasad has long acknowledged the dearth of significant mixed-race characters in literature, especially for teens and children, and has sought to bring awareness to this issue. For this reason, Prasad chose multiracial protagonists for both her YA novels, Damselfly and Mercury Boys. Prasad’s shorter works have appeared in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, The New York Times Magazine, The Week, and Teen Voices. She is also a contributor to New Haven Noir, a short story anthology edited by Amy Bloom, and the author of a how-to guide for young jobseekers. A graduate of Yale, Prasad is currently working on several books and writing projects. She lives in Connecticut with her husband, sons, and assorted pets. Find out more at https://chandraprasad.com/.

Melissa Storm is a New York Times and multiple USA Today bestselling author of Women’s Fiction, Inspirational Romance, and Cozy Mysteries. Despite an intense, lifelong desire to tell stories for a living, Melissa was “too pragmatic” to choose English as a major in college. Instead, she obtained her master’s degree in Sociology & Survey Methodology—then went straight back to slinging words a year after graduation anyway. She loves books so much, in fact, that she married fellow author Falcon Storm. Between the two of them, there are always plenty of imaginative, awe-inspiring stories to share. Melissa and Falcon also run a number of book-related businesses together, including LitRing, Sweet Promise Press, Novel Publicity, and Your Author Engine. When she's not reading, writing, or child-rearing, Melissa spends time relaxing at her home in the Michigan woods, where she is kept company by a seemingly unending quantity of dogs and two very demanding Maine Coon rescues. She also writes under the names of Molly Fitz and Mila Riggs.

Rachael answers Tuomas's question about what to do when you want to be a hybrid author, with a foot in both camps - trad- and self-publishing.
Also - if you're white, what you can do to be anti-racist AS A WRITER! This goes beyond allyship (centering BIPOC voices) and activism (protesting, donating to BIPOC-led organizations) Anti-racism is the act of opposing ALL white supremacy including the racism inside you and within the system you live in.

Jim Heskett was born in the wilds of Oklahoma, raised by a pack of wolves with a station wagon and a membership card to the local public swimming pool. He fell in love with writing at the age of fourteen with a copy of Stephen King's The Shining. Poetry became his first outlet for teen angst, then later screenplays, and eventually, short fiction and long fiction as a hybrid author. In between, he worked a few careers that never successfully tickled his creative toes, and hasn't ever forgotten about Stephen King.
