Behind the Books

We promise, we're still a writing podcast. Anyway, this week we have a little life chat and therapy session while we talk about the realities of life and where we are at the moment. It's a bit of a trip and one hell of ride, but we're stuck on this rollercoaster so might as well make the most of it. There's the anniversary of LJ's second book, but we have more important things on our mind! Like the permanence of our endless choices and the daunting visions of the rest of our lives. Cheery!

This week, Larissa and LJ tacking writing mediums! No, there are no ghosts, only different ways writing can be presented, or perceived to the audience (ok so kinda like ghosts). But we talk about creative mediums we've tried, we've seen, ways that modern media can be translated, and just talk about our favorite tv shows for a bit. It's summer now, so it's hot! Make sure to cool down inside with this new episode!Follow us on Instagram @larissagault.author and @l.j.elizabeth.

Larissa and LJ welcome our first guest of season 2, and week we talk with the incredible Susan L. Markloff! Eight (!) timed published author with more to come, Susan gives us her infinite knowledge on the world of marketing, promotions, and most importantly, how not to lose your mind while doing so. And we got to hear all about Susan's upcoming release, The Human-Born Era, so go check her out!Follow us on Instagram @larissagault.author , @l.j.elizabeth and @susanlmarkloff Follow the podcast on Twitter @bnhdthebookspod or email us at behindthebookspod@gmail.comContent warning for explicit languageHosted by: Larissa Gault and L.J.

In the very essence of what we're doing, this week we're talking about taking a break from writing! Where we are both absolutely overloaded with pretty much everything life is throwing at us, Larissa and LJ go over the importance of taking a break from writing, avoiding burnout, and some of our other hobbies. You mean we have a life outside of writing? Who woulda thought.Follow us on Instagram @larissagault.author and @l.j.elizabeth.

Larissa turned 20, so now we have her birthday bash! Keeping up with this exciting sorta-gameshow format we've been enjoying, today we are answering the questions that YOU asked us! We had a lot of really great questions and had lots of fun answering them, and even got a little deeper than we expected too. But that's ok, because a lot of this is reflection on where we've come from and where we are now, and it's amazing how time passes! Go wish Larissa a happy birthday, and tune into this weeks' episode!Follow us on Instagram @larissagault.author and @l.j.elizabeth.

Welcome to the next and best game show, the Behind the Books episode where Larissa and LJ play kiss, marry, kill, with everyone's (but mostly ours) favorite trios! We take characters from books, tv, movies, and even our own wips, and delve into some serious (and probably unpopular) discussion on how we could pick -- if we even can. Play along at home, and let us know if you agree, because this was probably some of the hardest decisions of our lives!Follow us on Instagram @larissagault.author and @l.j.elizabeth.

In our chillest episode to date - Larissa and LJ talk about poetry, our processes of writing and titling poetry, and of course, get a little off topic. We always manage to bring it back, and even talk about some of our future poetry projects for a little extra sneak peek. Listen to us in real time figure out that this episode drops exactly a year from when we met in person for the first time - and let us know if you'd be interested in bonus content (so we can see each other again)!Follow us on Instagram @larissagault.author and @l.j.elizabeth.

Welome back to part two of our genre episode, where we wrap up talking about all the fictional genres we possibly can! Of course, we get a little off track when LJ talks about some fun sports and both get sidetracked on true crime. We even tiptoe into some nonfiction genres and our favorite of all, poetry! But really, this episode we really just talk about women. Follow us on Instagram @larissagault.author and @l.j.elizabeth.
