15.02: Writing Between the Lines
Your Hosts: Brandon, Victoria, Dan, and Howard
Victoria Schwab, who also writes as V.E. Schwab, joins us this year, and in this episode she helps us cover that deep concept of “theme,” and how we as authors can state our themes without coming straight out and stating them—writing our themes “between the lines.”
Credits: This episode was recorded by Dan Thompson, and mastered by Alex Jackson.
Homework: Take something you’ve completed, but which is still in draft form. Write down three possible themes. Then compare this against what your alpha/beta readers tell you what they think your themes are.
Thing of the week: A Darker Shade of Magic, by V. E. Schwab.
