Many are driven to write their personal story, but how? As self-help? Memoir? Fiction? Award-winning author Mike E Reynolds shares how he decided to tell his story in the medium of fiction, and he shares about the challenges and opportunities that came with that decision. In this episode, we explore how to weave reality with fiction to both preserve the message and drive the story forward. Mike also shares how he navigated the interpersonal consequences of publishing this book, and he shares about the new perspective he developed on his story through the process of writing it.
Mike’s debut novel, Darkness Dwells in Dixie, won silver in the 2023 IBPA Benjamin Franklin awards. Connect with Mike at his website, mreynoldsbooks.com and find his book Darkness Dwells in Dixie on Amazon, B&N, and more.
