31 - Your Writing Doesn’t Have to Save the World to be Worth It with guest, SAMANTHA GARNER

  • Summary

  • On today’s episode of DEAR LONELY WRITER our host, Eden Boudreau had the pleasure of chatting with the author of the perfect marriage of literary and speculative fiction, THE QUIET IS LOUD, a fantastical novel shortlisted for the 2022 Kobo Emerging Writer Prize, Samantha Garner. They talk about writing characters that channel our own struggles with identity and familial acceptance, the pros of publishing with small presses and how what you write - fiction or non fiction - doesn’t have to save the world. Being able to allow your readers to escape and find joy is reason enough.  To learn more about Samantha and THE QUIET IS LOUD, find her online: Twitter: @SamanthaKGarner Facebook: @samanthagarnerwriter Instagram: @samanthakgarner Website: https://samanthagarner.ca/ Follow our host, Eden Boudreau:  Twitter: @edenboudreau Instagram: @edenboudreau Website: http://edenboudreau.com/ And find the show on socials: Twitter: @LonelyWriterPod  Instagram: @dearlonelywriterpodcast  Facebook: @dearlonelywriterpodcast
