To create, you must be inspired by...something. Laura and John talk about what inspires them to sit down and write as well as inspirations for specific works. 

After Laura and John's talk with Claudia Zuluaga, they invited her to record part of her novel Fort Starlight to add to the episode. They then decided to let it stand on its own and made a new episode out of it. Please enjoy this reading of part of Chapter 2 of Fort Starlight, read by the author, Claudia Zuluaga.

Laura and John talk to Claudia Zuluaga, author of the novel Fort Starlight, about her experiences with her first novel compared to work on her second, teaching college students writing, balancing a work/family/writing life, and more!

Welcome to the first episode of People Who Do Things with Laura Buchwald and John H. Matthews! 

In this initial outing, Laura and John talk about how they got started writing, inspiration, writer's block, and much more.
