In today’s episode, I am chatting with Caitlin Miller, represented by The Steve Laube Agency. Caitlin has been writing stories for nearly a decade and self-published two books in 2022. She has also been an English teacher to Japanese students for six years and a freelance editor for two years. When she’s not writing or editing, Caitlin loves frequenting bookstores and coffee shops, and you’ll often find her with her nose in a book or a pen in hand as she jots down storyline ideas. Caitlin is an award-winning author and poet. We discussed both of her novels within this episode, The Memories We Painted and Our Yellow Tape Letters.
Episode Highlights:
- Her experience moving around the world with her family as English teachers, including her favorite place to have lived.
- Writing an epistolary novel inspired by her love of letter writing and how she keeps up a penpal relationship to this day.
- Using fiction as a tool for empathy, healing and self-discovery.
- Crafting stories with representation of physical disabilities and mental health. Her book flight includes books representing this theme.
