For the month of February, we selected the book Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver to read for our Read Like a Writer Book Club.

In this episode, we discuss the challenge of not being able to finish the book. We tried to glean insights from the book to apply to our own writing, but we found we were disappointed by the similarity to Dickens' classic David Copperfield.

While the book gained widespread popularity as a Pulitzer Prize winner, we were curious about it receiving this recognition, so you'll hear us touch upon this in this episode. 

 Welcome to the Inspired Writer Collective podcast. If you've ever felt the pull to write your truth, to shape the chaos of real life into something meaningful and to share your journey with the world, you're in the right place. We're your hosts, Elizabeth and Stephanie, writers, coaches, and entrepreneurs who believe in you and know how important it is to find a writing community to guide you on your path to self-publishing.
