In Literary Lagniappe we share extra tidbits about our experiences as writers and other sundry musings.

How Technology Can Help Writers Succeed

Amy Wilhelm
Literary Lagniappe, on Writing
There is no one answer to how technology can help writers succeed. Every writer has different needs and preferences, and what works for one person might not work for another. However, there are some general thi... Read More...

Debut Life and Goodreads Graffiti by Karen Winn

Amy Wilhelm
Literary Lagniappe, on Writing
It’s been a little more than three weeks since my novel, Our Little World, launched, and so it feels like a perfect moment to reflect on it all. I’m not done with events yet—in fact, I have a reading this eveni... Read More...

Amy Wilhelm
Literary Lagniappe
Fangirling is defined by Merriam Webster as a girl or woman who is an extremely or overly enthusiastic fan of someone or something. I’ve been a self-declared Chris Evans fangirl since 2004 ever since I first saw Chris in Cellular – a thriller film literally ba... Read More...

Ancient Singing Masks, Anyone? – Guest Post by Honor Raconteur

Amy Wilhelm

There’s a scene in my novel where the main character, a prostitute known as Diamond Bessie, attends a Sunday afternoon lecture in Chicago featuring Susan B. Anthony. It was the famous suffragist’s first talk on... Read More...

The Best Book-To-Movie Adaptations To Hit Your Screens

Amy Wilhelm
Literary Lagniappe, Should I Watch?
Books have inspired movies since the dawn of cinema. And, films adapted from books are surprisingly more successful than original screenplays. You will be stunned to find out that 70% of some of the world's hig... Read More...

Using Setting As Character – Guest Post by Alana Quintana Albertson

Amy Wilhelm
Literary Lagniappe, on Writing
Ramón and Julieta is my 30th book, but one of the biggest struggles in my earlier novels was how to use setting. I was an English Literature major at Stanford, and I remember that back then when I was reading assigned books, I was certain that I could never ev... Read More...

A Supernatural Experience – Guest Post by Kevin Moore

Tabitha Lord
