In these troubling times, we write. Join Shelly X Leonn and Women On Writing (WOW) managing editor, Margo Dill, in discussing the incredible community of writers that is WOW. Chat with us about finding new resources for writers looking to pursue all their wildest writing dreams through the turbulence.  

The Writers XL discuss one of their favorite topics--clothes. As writers, do we develop clothes around our characters or our characters around their favorite garments? Join us for a look into character wardrobes.

Shelly returns to Protagonist Cafe (because once you step into this magical world of books and perfectly roasted coffee, how could you ever leave?) to sit and chat with its debonair general manager, Sam Sultzer. Join us for a chat about the coziest book nook in St. Louis.

On January 30, Shelly X Leonn had a book signing at the one and only Protagonist Cafe in St. Louis. She stopped to talk to some new friends (and family) about what makes great stories. Join her for this incredible event!

Kat Caldwell is a mom, maverick, mountain climber (figuratively...or maybe not, we didn't cover that), writer, publisher, and podcaster. The WritersXL bring Kat in to talk shop about juggling all the aspects of promotion while continuing to create, create, create! Join us!

In this episode, Shelly speaks with author, acclaimed journalist, and previous mentor/professor, Don Corrigan. While touring down memory lane, they discuss the many paths a writer's career can take. 

Here on the Writers XL, we love love (one of us maybe a little more than the other). Of course, when the opportunity to interview the lovey-est love who ever loved, we take it. Join us for a discussion with author Meryl Wilsner about their debut novel, Something to Talk About, the gay agenda, and their perspective on the RWA's implosion.  

The Writers XL bring Shelly's boyfriend onto the podcast to test out comedy inspired by everyday life. Join us for some tricks and tips on how to brave the stage when going live.

We've talked about the publishing process before--we're not strangers to self-publishing, traditional publishing, or any combination that exists in between. When talking to Joe Chiankas, author of Rabbit in Red, we discuss how publishing can take even more twists and turns than we imagined. Join us for a chat about finding the perfect audience leading them down the rabbit hole with you. 

The Writers XL reflect on the past year. Remembering the goals we set for 2019, we embrace new mindsets and new challenges to welcome 2020. Join us for a peek into the future with a brief reading on what's to come.
