Welcome to Book Smart Trivia, a new podcast by Lit Local. You may notice this podcast showing up on your feed because you used to be a faithful listener to the long dormant Indie Writer Podcast which aired from 2019 to 2022. Those episodes featuring talented guest authors will remain available on the feed for all to continue to enjoy, and I hope you'll give this new show a try!

I'm your host Jacqui Castle, and each week I'm going to bring you a three round trivia game made up of a delightful blend of literary trivia and general knowledge questions.

For this inaugural episode, we're going to dive into the world of Shakespeare.

Welcome to the Indie Writer Podcast where we talk about all things writing and indie publishing. Today we are excited to talk about author mentorship programs with Gwynne Jackson and Naina Kumar!

Gwynne Jackson writes across multiple genres. A 2018 Golden Heart® finalist in contemporary romance, her books explore the nature of love, human interactions, and found family (often featuring ghosts). She’s the one who dreams up the Twitter #FridayKiss prompts, runs the FridayKiss community, and created the Kiss Pitch mentoring program. She lives on an island in Puget Sound with her family, pets, and a band of local sea otters whose hijinks are endlessly amusing. She is represented by Jemiscoe Chambers-Black at the Andrea Brown Literary Agency.

Naina Kumar is a lawyer by day and a reader and writer of romance at night. She is currently querying her debut rom-com, which was selected as the RevPit 2022 Winner.
