Denise Miotke is a mom, a real estate agent, a reader for the Austin Film Festival, one of my oldest friends - and a screenwriter. I loved talking with her about her writing journey - she's wise and funny and you're going to love her.

In this episode we talk found family; fence disputes; Bronte inspiration; how poetry and screenwriting are linked; how bad screenplays are all similar; authenticity; and so much more.
