🎙️ Every story is shaped by perspective—and every perspective deserves space on the page.
In this powerful episode of  ⁨@TheAuthorNextDoor⁩  Cassie Newell and Angela Haas explore how personal experiences, culture, gender, and tradition all shape the way writers tell stories. This candid conversation reflects on their own creative journeys while celebrating the importance of diverse perspectives in the writing community.

They discuss:

How your personal and cultural background influences the stories you tell

The role of community traditions in shaping characters and voice

Why authentic representation matters (and where stereotypes fall short)

The challenges women face in writing and publishing industries

What it means to write with emotional honesty ✍️💬

How writing goals evolve over time—and why that’s a good thing

The creative growth that comes from listening to different perspectives
