    Jun 6 2026
    In this conversation, Minter Dial welcomes Dixie Maria Carlton, celebrated author and publishing consultant affectionately known as the “word witch.” With decades of experience guiding aspiring writers from rough ideas to finished manuscripts, Dixie brings a refreshingly candid perspective on the realities of book writing, publishing, and beyond. Together, Minter and Dixie delve into the transformative journey of authorship—what it means to move from the blank page to powerful public presence, and why crafting a book today is as much about authority and influence as it is about the written word. Dixie sheds light on the evolving state of book reading and publishing, offering her take on why, despite the digital deluge, readers—and books—still matter more than ever.
