Welcome to the Indie Writer Podcast where we talk about all things writing and indie publishing. Today, host Cari Dubiel talks about Organizing Your Writing Life with guest authors Gigi Pandian and Kaytalin Platt.    Gigi Pandian is a USA Today bestselling and award-winning mystery author, breast cancer survivor, and accidental almost-vegan. The child of cultural anthropologists from New Mexico and the southern tip of India, she spent her childhood being dragged around the world on their research trips and now lives outside San Francisco. She's the author of more than a dozen mystery novels. The latest is Under Lock & Skeleton Key, which the New York Times called "wildly entertaining." She’s been awarded Agatha, Anthony, Lefty, and Derringer awards, was a finalist for the Edgar Award, and is a co-founder of Crime Writers of Color.  

Kaytalin Platt is an author and graphic designer living in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Platt was raised on a farm in rural Deer Park, Alabama—a place which offered inspiration for her short stories Eleanor and Only God Can Tell. Platt’s debut novel, The Living God, was published in 2019, with the follow-up arriving in 2021. She has several short stories appearing in Writing Bloc anthologies, and the third installment to her Equitas series arrives late 2022.
